Key features include transaction management, performance, scalability, security, and integration. The Application Server supports services from Web publishing to enterprise-scale transaction processing, while enabling developers to build applications based on JavaServer Pages (JSP^TM), Java servlets, and Enterprise JavaBeans^TM(EJB^TM) technology.
