Adobe JRun Server 4 (1-CPU) Upgrade

Adobe JRun 4 provides the speed and reliability required to deploy and manage your standards-based Internet applications. Loaded with features for accelerated deployment and powerful scalability, JRun 4 is an elegantly architected, web-services enabled, approachable platform with full Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) compatibility. Currently used in production at over ten thousand companies worldwide, JRun is the proven solution for reducing the time and cost associated with developing and deploying applications.

JRun 4 is the fast, affordable, and reliable platform for developing, deploying, and managing your J2EE compatible applications:

FAST - JRun 4 streamlines development, deployment, and management of your applications.

• Get up and running quickly - JRun 4 installs in minutes with a simple graphical installation utility complete with wizards, to keep the process going smoothly and quickly.
• Enhance productivity - JRun 4 integrates with your favorite Java IDE to help you work faster and with less effort.
  

AFFORDABLE - JRun 4 delivers everything you need to build and deploy J2EE-compatible applications on time and on budget.

• Develop for free - Start building applications today with the free, full-featured JRun 4 Developer Edition.

• Reduce deployment costs - JRun 4 gives you full-featured J2EE compatibility plus value-added capabilities, such as web services integration, server clustering, and database drivers. JRun 4 provides everything organizations need to deploy standards-based Internet applications--at a fraction of the cost of other J2EE-compatible servers.

RELIABLE - JRun is a proven foundation, with superior performance, scalability, and availability.

• Build scalable, high-performance applications - JRun 4 uses a breakthrough Jini technology-based peer-to-peer approach for server clustering. This method greatly simplifies clustered application deployment and eliminates a single point of failure.
• Rely on proven experience - JRun is the choice of leading organizations worldwide--thousands of developers count on the JRun platform for building and deploying standards-based applications.

KEY FEATURES:

Standards Support - JRun 4 implements the complete J2EE platform specification, including Java Server Pages, Java Servlets, Enterprise JavaBeans, Java Message Services, and other Java and web services APIs.

• Certified J2EE 1.3-compatible: JRun 4 is certified J2EE 1.3-compatible, implementing the latest standards support for the complete Java 2 platform APIs.
• Advanced EJB 2.0 support: The JRun 4 EJB container has been rearchitected to provide superior support for the new EJB 2.0 features, including local interfaces, message-driven beans, EJB-QL, and Container Managed Persistence (CMP) 2.0.

Presentation Services

• JRun Server Tags technology: JRun Server Tags (JST) allow you to write custom tags using JavaServer Pages, instead of the more complex custom tag handler. Custom tag development is faster and more approachable.
• Built-in web server: JRun 4 ships with a built-in, high-performance HTTP server. Additionally, JRun 4 provides connectors for support of other leading HTTP servers.

Performance and Scalability - Superior performance and breakthrough Jini technology-based server-cluster management capabilities allow your applications to scale in a reliable and highly optimized runtime environment.

• Superior servlet and JSP performance: The elegant and small footprint architecture in JRun 4 is optimized for performance. Since its introduction in 1997, JRun is recognized as the fastest web container in the application server market.
• Advanced Jini technology-based server clustering: JRun 4 provides enterprise-class server clustering, allowing load balancing and automatic failover at all levels: web server, web connector, and component. JRun servers use Jini technology to dynamically locate their peers in the cluster, eliminating the risk inherent to a single point of failure.

Development and Deployment Services - In addition to the core J2EE services, JRun 4 includes features to simplify and speed the development and deployment process. Using the power of the new JRun 4 development and deployment features, you can deliver your applications faster in a non-stop server environment.

• Auto deployment: Deploying an application is as simple as copying an EAR, JAR, WAR, or RAR file to the server directory. JRun 4 automatically senses the new file, deploys it, and makes it available in the target server: there's no need to restart the server.
• Hot Modification: During development, you can hot modify any application component (servlets, JavaServer Pages, Enterprise JavaBeans, Java classes, deployment descriptors). The changes take effect immediately, without restarting the server.

Data Access Services

• Bundled type IV JDBC drivers: JRun 4 comes with high performance JDBC drivers for the leading databases: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, DB2, and Informix.
• Java API for XML parsing (JAXP): JRun 4 integrates a JAXP-compliant XML parser and an eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) engine.

Open and Extensible Architecture - Built on an elegant JMX service-oriented architecture with a small footprint, the JRun 4 Server is easily customized, extended, or embedded to meet your unique business requirements.

• Service-oriented architecture: JRun 4 services--EJB container, web container, logging, and others--are implemented as MBeans plugged into the JMX-based JRun kernel. This plug-in architecture provides a highly customizable and easily extensible deployment platform.
• Java Message Service (JMS): JRun 4 includes a durable and transactable JMS 1.02b-compliant provider that supports both point-to-point and publish/subscribe synchronous and asynchronous messaging. JRun 4 can also be used in conjunction with an external JMS provider, such as SonicMQ.

Application and Server Management

• JRun Management Console: The redesigned, JMX-enabled JRun Management Console (JMC) provides an easy-to-use, web-based graphical user interface to manage your local and remote JRun servers. Using the JMC, you easily create servers, define clusters, manage applications, and implement JAAS-based security.
• Point-and-click server cluster administration: Installing and managing a cluster of JRun servers is straightforward. Using the JRun Management Console (JMC), you define and administer a cluster in a point-and-click environment. JRun 4 also simplifies the deployment of applications into a clustered environment. The JMC provides a one-step deployment option to all the servers in the cluster.

Integration with Macromedia Flash MX - With built-in connectivity to Macromedia Flash Player, it's easy to provide your J2EE applications with high-impact user interfaces. Support for Macromedia Flash Remoting allows user interfaces built in Macromedia Flash to connect to EJBs, Java classes, and MBeans deployed in JRun 4 in a simple, fast, and secure manner.
