Oak Grove Systems Offers IBM's WebSphere Users Compatible J2EE Workflow Engine.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers ALTADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 2001 Oak Grove Systems today announced the compatibility of Reactor(TM) 5.0 with IBM's (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) ) WebSphere(TM) application server, version 4.0. Reactor 5.0 is Oak Grove's J2EE-based, XML-driven workflow engine for developing enterprise Java applications. The completion of the compatibility testing enables IBM's WebSphere users to use Reactor 5.0 to quicken their workflow development pace and simplify process integration. Reactor 5.0 offers user flexibility and powerful interoperability benefits with e-business applications, CRM (Customer Relationship Management) An integrated information system that is used to plan, schedule and control the presales and postsales activities in an organization. , ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. , legacy systems, and other workflow systems. The robust Reactor 5.0 process model, originally developed at JPL for NASA NASA: see National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA in full National Aeronautics and Space Administration Independent U.S. , now lets WebSphere users add arbitrarily complex process layers simply and efficiently. "Compatibility with WebSphere is an important milestone in our strategy of delivering cross-platform process tools deployable on the market leading applications, platforms and environments," said Steve Mitchell, chief technology officer, Oak Grove Systems. "Our goal with the Reactor technology is to give the application server market the first 100 percent compatible workflow engine." Users can download Reactor 5.0 from the Oak Grove Systems Website at www.oakgrovesystems.com. Currently, Reactor 5.0 has been certified compatible with IBM's WebSphere, BEA WebLogic, Orion, and JBOSS. Compatibility testing on additional application servers is in progress. Implemented within the J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) A platform from Sun for building distributed enterprise applications. J2EE services are performed in the middle tier between the user's machine and the enterprise's databases and legacy information systems. framework, written entirely in Java, and using XML for process definitions and instantiation (programming) instantiation - Producing a more defined version of some object by replacing variables with values (or other variables). 1. In object-oriented programming, producing a particular object from its class template. , Reactor 5.0 is a "best-of-breed" workflow engine that dramatically improves time-to-market and decreases development costs by providing a suite of tools for the rapid development of process layers within enterprise Java applications.
