Oracle Corporation has licensed Sun's Java 2 Enterprise Edition. This endorsement further soldifies J2EE technology as the standard for developers building and deploying enterprise applications.

Since it began shipping last December, J2EE has been licensed by numerous leading enterprise developer companies in addition to Oracle, including Art Technology Group, BEA Systems, Inc., Bluestone Software, Inc., Compaq Computer Company, GemStone Systems, Inc., Hitachi, InterWorld, Persistence Software, Inc., SAS Institute, Inc., SilverStream Software, Sybase, and iPlanet E-Commerce Solutions.

"With the addition of Oracle Corporation among the list of official licensees of J2EE technology, it is undeniably clear that J2EE technology is the industry standard for building eCommerce applications," said Rich Green, Sun's vice president of Java Software Development. "The industry agrees that J2EE technology will allow developers to provide customers with an open, end-end platform -- from the datacenter to the device -- upon which to build their end-to-end e-commerce applications."

"As companies transition to e-business, information and applications need to be integrated and shared between employees, customers, suppliers, and trading partners," said Jeremy Burton, vice-president of Internet Platform marketing at Oracle. "Making this vision a reality requires software based on open, industry-standard interfaces, so that developers have a consistent way of building and integrating applications. The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition technology meets this need, and helps make interoperability a reality. Oracle's database, application server, development tools, and other Internet Platform products provide a high-performance foundation for building and deploying e-business applications based on Java technology, and we are pleased to announce our support for Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition."

These licensees recognize J2EE technology's value as a unified, integrated platform that simplifies multi-tier enterprise application development and deployment in today's diverse corporate environments. J2EE technology enables businesses to protect and leverage existing infrastructure investments by linking existing enterprise systems with new web-based applications. Two core components of J2EE technology include industry tested and adopted enterprise Java technologies (Enterprise JavaBeans technology and JavaServer Pages technology) as well as support for the eXtensible Markup Language (XML), thus extending Java technology computing into the enterprise-class arena.
