The bmap4j Framework

Bmap4j (Batch Management And Processing For Java) is a Java SE & EE based BTP-framework, which implements together with a Java EE certified applications server the requirements of an enterprise-BTP-platform.

The development team tried to use the Java EE standards support whenever possible. In the area of processing we can thus guarantee a complete abstraction of the batch-program by the underlying applications server layer.

The management features are based on JMX & web technologies. Unfortunately especially in this ares, some aspects are not covered in Java EE standard (e.g. JMX) and the manufacturers of the applications-server provide their individual solutions. Therefore you will need an adjusted support for the different applications-server. We continuously try to reasonably use new standardized areas of Java EE (e.g. Singleton Beans in EJB 3.1) whenever possible.

The list of currently supported applications-server includes:

• Redhat JBoss AS
• IBM WebSphere AS
• Oracle Weblogic
• Oracle Glassfish
• Apache Geronimo

The core-system is provided as open-source on Sourceforge .

In addition to the core-system the repository will be provided for your use. This is a closed-source component of Xinventa , which adds persistence to the core-system. In addition to the data-store in form of a data base it also includes a web based user interface, which allows the use of appropriate management and analyzing features.
