Who should be interested in the Sun ONE Application Framework?
The Sun ONE Application Framework is primarily intended to address the needs of J2EE developers who build medium, large, and massive-scale enterprise-strength Web applications. The Sun ONE Application Framework combines robust design patterns with equally robust implementations of those patterns to provide an enterprise Web application foundation. Because the Sun ONE Application Framework provides core facilities for reusable JavaBean-like components, it is also suited for third party developers wishing to provide off-the-shelf components that can easily be integrated into Web applications. These same features make the Sun ONE Application Framework very suitable as a platform for building vertical Web applications or offerings. This is because its horizontal extension capabilities provide a well-defined way for both end users and original developers to extend or leverage existing vertical features.
