Unify(R) Corporation (OTCBB: UNFY), a global provider of software product solutions, and JBoss Group LLC, provider of the most popular Java-based application server, today announced the integration of the JBoss(R) open source application server with the Unify NXJ(TM) product solution for the development and deployment of business web applications on the J2EE platform. Under the agreement, Unify has joined the JBoss Preferred Affiliates(TM) Program. An evaluation version of Unify NXJ, bundled with JBoss, is available for download on www.jboss.org and www.unify.com.

Companies seeking to build or extend database-centric business applications to the web now benefit from Unify NXJ's intuitive design paradigm and pre-built application functionality, combined with the industry-leading JBoss application server, resulting in incredibly flexible, cost-effective web applications delivered on the J2EE platform.

"The Unify NXJ and JBoss bundle provides a winning product combination because its ease of use, reliability and cost effectiveness make it extremely attractive for organizations needing to quickly web-enable business applications using their current development staff," said Dave Glende, vice president of strategy and chief technology officer of Unify. "We are pleased to be able to provide customers with a reliable solution for delivering J2EE web applications, without the J2EE complexity, and significantly reduce their licensing costs by bundling the free, enterprise-ready JBoss application server."

"Unify NXJ simplifies J2EE application development and deployment for the masses of non-J2EE experts, opening up a new market segment of users for the JBoss application server," said Marc Fleury, founder and president of JBoss Group. "Bundled with JBoss, Unify NXJ delivers significant business value through rapid deployment, performance and scalability of J2EE web applications."

Companies worldwide use the open source JBoss application server in production environments. JBoss, with more than two million downloads in 2002 and 1.5 million to date in 2003, enables developers to quickly integrate and web-enable applications. Customers choose JBoss for its stability, scalability and rich feature set. Enterprise-ready, JBoss is freely available for corporations to download and install on an unlimited number of servers and offers a compelling cost advantage over commercially available application servers.

Unify NXJ simplifies and accelerates the development and deployment of enterprise web applications on the J2EE platform by providing up to 70 percent of a web application's functionality out of the box. By uniquely combining common programming methods and business rules with the J2EE blueprints, Unify NXJ enables companies to leverage the skills of COBOL and client/server developers to quickly and effectively deliver J2EE-compliant enterprise web applications that run on top of leading J2EE application servers.

Partners are able to leverage JBoss 3.0, which supports the J2EE 1.3 standard. It also includes the basic EJB container and JMX infrastructure; JBossMQ for JMS messaging; JBossMX for mail; JBossTX for JTA/JTS transactions; JBossSX for JAAS-based security; JBossCX for JCA connectivity; and JBossCMP for CMP persistence. In addition, JBoss affiliates have access to JBoss Group's professional services. JBoss consultants spend 50 percent of their time developing JBoss and 50 percent of their time consulting.
