Sun Microsystems Announces J2EE 1.4 Application Verification Kit

Sun Microsystems has announced the availability of a free J2EE 1.4 Application Verification Kit (AVK). The new J2EE AVK tests for portability and the correct use of J2EE APIs across J2EE technology-compatible application servers, helping to deliver assurance to customers that their solutions remain portable across the multi-vendor J2EE technology-based application server environment. The kit is available at http://java.sun.com/j2ee/avk/.

The J2EE 1.4 AVK provides a complete testing solution for this problem, comprising the following functionality:

• Web services testing such as static checking for Web services endpoints and dynamic checking for both Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) and Servlet-based Web services;
  
• Source code scanning for incompatible proprietary APIs that would cause interoperability challenges;
  
• Incorporation of ANT (an open source program from the Apache Software Foundation for efficiently assembling all the pieces of a program) tasks in the development cycle;
  
• Mapping assertions tested to the specification, enabling easy lookup; and
  
• Component libraries.
