Coming Opensource of Web 7 and Proxy servers
Tuesday Jul 29, 2008
I found this lately,
http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/pr/2008-07/sunflash.20080723.3.xml
"
Sun also announced that it is open sourcing the core components of the
Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 and Sun Java System Web Proxy
technologies under a BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) license in
the Web Stack sub-project of the OpenSolaris community. The Web and Proxy source code will be available in CY08Q3.
"By open sourcing the core technology in our Web and Proxy server,
Sun's goal is to give developers more flexibility, choice and help them
achieve faster time to market," said Karen Tegan Padir, vice president
of engineering, Software Infrastructure, Sun Microsystems. "Through
Sun's enterprise-grade Web software Stack and Sun's Web and Proxy
servers, enterprises and developers now have the option to standardize
their development and production environments on open source
technology."
Sun's release of their Web and Proxy server code with a BSD license is
proof of their involvement and commitment to open source. I am quite
excited by the opportunities and possibilities that this provides, both
as an Open Source community member, but also as a director, member and
developer within the Apache Software Foundation," said Jim Jagielski.
"
FYI.
So, I guess the source of Web 7 and Proxy will be available soon.
