What's New
Latest Java Specification Support Sun ONE Application Server 7 is compatible with the latest J2EE 1.3 specifications and leverages performance enhancements and features of the latest release of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.4.
Integrated Web Services Support Java-based web services support is built into Sun ONE Application Server 7.
