Beyond Browsing Announces Free Application Server - OccamJ

Major Hollywood Studio Adopts OccamJ - Reduces Compile Times by 70%

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Beyond Browsing, an enterprise systems development company, announced today the release of their free application server OccamJ (OAS). OccamJ is a pure java object server designed to meet the growing requirement for an application server that offers vastly reduced compile times for larger projects, and a greatly reduced developer learning curve. After achieving resounding success in the field of movie animation with a major Hollywood Studio, Beyond Browsing has made the OccamJ server available as a free download at www.occamj.org.

Beyond Browsing is seeing enormous success with OAS through its utilization at a major Hollywood studio. Retained to analyze the internal server architecture, Beyond Browsing identified a major limitation in the structure of their EJB servers. Subsequently, Beyond Browsing conceived, built and implemented a much faster and more efficient alternative server and OAS was born. OAS replaced an existing EJB application server, resulting in huge developer productivity gains for the Studio, reducing compile times by 70% and dramatically improving runtime performance.

"This is a huge win for Beyond Browsing," said Tim Stapleton, CEO of Beyond Browsing. "The movie studio now has their animation Production Management System running on OAS, supporting 5 major movies in production or hundreds of millions of dollars in managed assets. The system serves requests from over 300 users and a render farm of 1000 CPU's. OccamJ's performance and usability exceeded the clients' expectations," touted Stapleton. "OccamJ is a breath of fresh air to the enterprise developer community. It offers an easier learning curve for the developer, reduced compile times, and much faster performance."

By simply serving Java Objects without the complexity of CORBA or the weight of entity beans, OAS offers a pure Java alternative for multi-tiered applications. OAS is highly scalable and supports multi-processor servers avoiding the complexity of clustering. It also offers multi-threading and re-entrant object support. OccamJ supports most major JDO implementations for persistence including Versant and Solarmetric and provides plug-ins for Borland JBuilder and Eclipse. Multi-platform support includes: Linux, Microsoft Windows, Solaris, and MacOS X. OAS is available at www.OccamJ.org
