NetworkWorldFusion: Java technology brouhaha not over for Domino users

by Volker Weber

An open source project designed to replace Java technology originally expected to be in the next version of Lotus' Domino collaboration software will not be completed in time - as some users hoped - to coincide with the shipment of Version 6 in two weeks.

However, Lotus later this month plans to release details on how Domino and parent company IBM's WebSphere Application Server will be combined to provide, without additional cost to Domino users, the Java technology that was yanked.

"You will hear something major about integrating Domino with WebSphere," says Ed Brill, senior manager for messaging and collaboration at Lotus. "We will provide a deployable JSP capability in the Domino platform that will come from a bundled version of WebSphere."

He said Lotus is not resurrecting Garnet but would provide a "functionally equivalent" technology. He would not say if the bundle would include the ability to edit and store JSP in Domino, or if there will be a deployment tool to load JSP from Domino to the WebSphere engine.

But Brill said the JSP support would come without additional cost to Lotus users.
