Avenida Technologies Limited this week announced the release of Avenida Web Server 1.0, one of the first Web servers to be certified by Sun Microsystems as 100% Pure Java.
With its servlet architecture the Avenida Web Server 1.0 is said to be a great addition to the server-side Java technology movement. The certification by Sun indicates that the product is fully capable of running in any Java-enabled computer.
Sun Microsystems’ 100% Pure Java program was created to guarantee that Sun’s “Write Once, Run Anywhere” vision of Java continues to be accessible to developers and end-users. The program is made up of a verification and testing process done by third party companies.
Servlets hold great appeal for developers because they can be used to extend a Web server’s functionality by running certain processes on the server side.
According to Avenida, developers also get the benefit of seamlessly employing Java at the server side in added-value Web applications.
The Avenida Web Server 1.0 can be purchased from the Avenida Web site for a retail price of around $150.
