SpringSource offers relief from 'Java bloat'


By Robert Mullins
April 30, 2008 — 
SpringSource is introducing a Java application platform intended to alleviate the perceived “bloat” of legacy Java application servers.

The SpringSource Applications Platform, its beta unveiled today, is intended as a simpler alternative to the way in which Java applications are created. The platform is built on a combination of open-source technologies—Apache Tomcat, the Eclipse IDE, OSGi and the Spring Framework—that is designed to create a complete enterprise application stack for developing, deploying and maintaining Java applications, said Rod Johnson, CEO of SpringSource, the commercial sponsor of the Spring open-source framework.

The key to the SpringSource Application Platform’s appeal is its modular design, said Johnson.

By building a middleware kernel on top of OSGi, the platform enables the server and the end user application to be broken up at “an appropriate level of modularity,” he explained. “This provides advantages like a smaller memory footprint, extremely fast startup time, and the ability to upgrade parts of the application on the server at run time without having to take down the server.”

Today’s beta release of the platform is to be followed by the availability of both open-source and commercial versions of the platform sometime in June, SpringSource stated.

SpringSource made another effort to ease Java complexity in March with the beta release of the SpringSource Tool Suite, based on the Eclipse Mylyn project, which is aimed at reducing information overload in Spring IDE software development by identifying only the information relevant to the task at hand. The suite also includes issue tracking support and code quality analysis tools. SpringSource also joined the Eclipse Foundation in March.
