WebSphere Application Server v7 – Announced in September 2008. V7 has added support for the latest standards and programming models, and contains key improvements in the areas of systems management, installation, and security. In order to balance your desire for less frequent releases while still making available the latest standards to our customers who need them, IBM has introduced Feature Packs. With Feature Packs, customers can selectively take advantage of new standards and features while maintaining a more stable internal release cycle. Feature Packs available for V7 include:a) Feature Pack for Service Component Architecture and b) Feature Pack for Web 2.0.
WebSphere sMash – This runtime and development environment supports some of today’s hottest dynamic scripting languages – PHP and Groovy – and provides an agile web application development environment that has a small footprint, is easy to modify and is fast to re-start.
