Domino 6 to gain WebSphere muscle
by Volker Weber
Fulfilling promises made earlier this year, IBM on Wednesday will announce plans to bundle its WebSphere application server software with forthcoming versions of Lotus Domino 6, which will be formally introduced next week.
The move is designed to open the Domino platform to the world of Web services and J2EE, and to expose the Domino platform to WebSphere application developers.
"We are trying to proactively and progressively guide our installed based towards the richer set of Web services and J2EE-based applications, as well as continue to open up Domino to people who are writing J2EE-based apps today," said Ken Bisconti, vice president of messaging solutions at IBM Lotus Software, in Cambridge, Mass.
