SpringSource Launches New Application Server without Java EE
SpringSource today became an appserver vendor, challenging the existing Java EE server establishment with the SpringSource Application Platform, an application server built on Spring, OSGi, and Apache Tomcat. The new appserver departs from the Java EE standards, exposing the Spring programming model natively, along with a new deployment and packaging system (no EAR files), built over an OSGi core.
