Open Source XML Application Server Beta Released

Seattle, WA - June 22, 1999 - Planet 7 Technologies today
announced the Beta Release of their XML Application Server
for Java on Linux and Windows NT.

The XML Application Server breaks down the barriers of writing 
real-time, multi-user XML applications as businesses can now 
quickly write Internet/Intranet applications that break the 
stateless model of traditional HTTP. Without care for network 
or concurrent programming, the XML Application Server allows 
development of real-time enabled Enterprise applications including 
virtual meetings, document collaboration, real-time customer 
service, and the merging of multiple XML data points with
real-time business logic. 

The XML Application Server is developed under Open Source
licensing.  The Planet 7 Technologies team is pushing ahead 
toward a 1.0 release with an improved feature set targeting 
E-Commerce and XML integrators in need of robust, real-time, 
scalable applications.  Planet 7 Technologies is also developing 
a value-added suite of performance tools to enhance and ease 
development of XML Applications including native-code API's for 
Linux and Windows, COM-based components for Win32, and ready-made 
applications that allow for real-time, page-level site monitoring, 
document collaboration, and real-time XML integration.
