SpringSource, maker of the popular Spring Framework for Java application development, this week began offering its SpringSource dm Server, an OSGi-based application server to run enterprise Java and Spring applications.
SpringSource's dm Server provides a solution for grid and virtualized environments as well as cloud deployments of tomorrow, SpringSource said. Seamless application and resource library upgrades are featured along with application monitoring and analysis. Developers gain a development server that resolves application dependency problems common with legacy Java EE application packaging, the company said.
SpringSource's dm Server uses SpringSource dm Kernel technology, which provides a lightweight, module-based backbone for the server. An integrated version of the Apache Tomcat servlet container is featured as well. The configuration, SpringSource said, makes dm Server a choice for virtual and cloud computing environments where dynamic provisioning and minimal footprint are critical.
The product has been has been designed to provide a lightweight and fast alternative to monolithic application servers as well as offering an OSGi-based modular solution to transform enterprise Java application development, according to SpringSource.
“Since the introduction of the dm Server, we have received widespread applause from the industry and the beta program participants, reinforcing our belief that the application server market is ready for a dramatic change and SpringSource is poised to lead that change,” said Peter Cooper-Ellis, senior vice president of engineering and product management for SpringSource, in a statement released by the company.
