In India, "open" as a focal point of WebManager is clearly paying off in terms of easy adoptation, easy implementation, easy use and easy development.

Everyone will know the concept of WCBs, but what about extensions and extensibility?

One of the good things of Java is the “create once, use everywhere” message. The modular architecture of GX WebManager supports this message in the form of WCBs.

As I reported in my previous post SpringSource, formerly known as Interface21 and the company behind the popular Spring Framework, has released the SpringSource Application Platform (S2AP) in beta. This new Java application server is build on top of an OSGi runtime (Equinox) providing a very nice runtime deployment model!
