The struggle to integrate business assets across the .NET - J2EE technology divide is legendary. So it should come as no surprise that the emergence of portal applications as an enabler of Service Oriented Architecture is forcing enterprises to revisit interoperability challenges in ...
Due to the benefits of each, J2EE and .NET have penetrated most markets and companies to the point where 95% of medium and large-scale enterprises support both .NET and J2EE, and 30% or more of new application development will include both by 2009, according to a study published by Gar...
