The SunTM Open Net Environment (Sun ONE) Architecture Guide offers a technical overview of the components and functionality available for developing and deploying Services on Demand. In conjunction with the SunTM ONE Starter Kit, this guide will enable IT architects to evaluate the technology used by the Sun ONE platform. Web service developers will understand the Java programming language API's, Java platforms and application development tools. Independent Software Vendors will better understand how to develop Sun ONE platform components as emerging industry standards mature.

The entire Sun ONE Architecture Guide can be downloaded in zipped PDF format (2.17 Mbytes). The guide contains the following information:
