CD213 (Intermediate)	Using Open Source Frameworks on SAP NetWeaver	Since its introduction in 1999, the Java EE technology has constantly emerged. On the other hand, some other technologies have been introduced following the same programming paradigms or answering the same questions as the Java EE industry standards. These technologies coexist with the standard technologies – and sometimes even impersonate a competition to them – since they provide a real alternative to standard solutions. Some of them have been very well embraced by the community, thus becoming de facto standards – think about Struts or Hibernate. The Employee Management Demo Application or sometimes called the Open Source Demo is a simple demo scenario using solely Open Source products and frameworks and the SAP NetWeaver Application Server as a development and runtime platform. The Open Source Demo application is implemented with Struts and Hibernate. It also consumes a web service hosted on a Tomcat server by using the AXIS API. The application can also send JMS messages to a (possibly remotely hosted) JORAM JMS provider. The key finding of this is that the SAP NetWeaver Application Server is an open platform for integration of Open Source de facto standard Java EE technologies.
