Appendix A
Reference Listing:
Java Enterprise System ComponentsThis appendix provides a reference listing of all Java Enterprise System components, broken down into the following categories:
- Java Enterprise System Server Components. The component products that provide distributed infrastructure software services needed to support distributed, enterprise applications.
- Java Enterprise System Client Components. Front ends to Java Enterprise System servers. Some are administration tools and some are used to support end-user access to system services.
- Shared Components. Local libraries that can be shared by all Java Enterprise System servers running on a particular host computer.
In this appendix, Java Enterprise System components are listed alphabetically within the three categories above.
Java Enterprise System Server ComponentsJava Enterprise System server components (Java Enterprise System component products) provide distributed infrastructure services needed to support distributed, enterprise applications.
For a roadmap to component product documentation, refer to the Java Enterprise System Documentation Roadmap (http://docs.sun.com/doc/817-4715).
Java Enterprise System includes the server components listed below:
- Sun ONE Application Server 7 Update 3, Standard and Platform Editions
- Sun Java System Message Queue 3.5 Service Pack 1, Enterprise and Platform Editions
Sun Cluster 3.1 4/04 and Sun Cluster Sun ONE Agents
Sun Cluster software is a component of the SunPlex™ system. The SunPlex system is an integrated hardware and Sun Cluster software solution that extends the Solaris operating system into a cluster operating system. A cluster, or plex, is a collection of loosely coupled computing nodes that provides a single client view of network services or applications, including databases, web services, and file services.
After setting up a cluster, you create highly available data services by installing and configuring the data service’s Sun Cluster agent and application on the cluster. For example, to create a highly available Messaging Server data service, you install and configure the Sun Cluster agent for Messaging Server as well as the Messaging Server component product.
The Java Enterprise System installer provides the Sun Cluster Core and the Sun Cluster Agents as separately installable components. Additional Sun Cluster agents are available on separate CDs.
Sun ONE Application Server 7 Update 3
Sun ONE Application Server (Application Server) provides a J2EE-compatible platform for developing and deploying application services and web services. Application Server provides the infrastructure services for interaction between tightly coupled distributed components, including remote method invocation and other runtime services.
The Administration Client provides graphical clients and command-line administration clients that allow you to manage and configure Application Server installations and hosted applications. The Administration Client also assists with deploying applications.
Application Server is available in two editions:
- Standard Edition (default). Allows management of multiple application server instances from a central administration console. Includes the ability to partition web application traffic through a web server tier proxy. Supports configuration of multiple application server instances per administration domain. SNMP can be used to monitor the Standard Edition application server.
- Platform Edition. Limited to single application server instances, that is, single virtual machines for the Java platform Java virtual machine (JVM™). Multi-tier deployment topologies are supported, but the web server tier proxy does not perform load balancing. Administrative utilities are limited to local clients only.
The Java Enterprise System installer provides Application Server as a single installable component. The following Application Server subcomponents can be installed separately:
Sun Java System Calendar Server 6 2004Q2

Sun Java System Identity Server 2004Q2
Sun Java System Identity Server (Identity Server) provides an infrastructure for an organization to administer the processes used to manage the digital identities of customers, employees, and partners who use their web-based services and non web-based applications. Because these resources might be distributed across a wide range of internal and external computing networks, the attributes, policies and entitlements are defined and applied to each identity to manage access to these technologies.
The Java Enterprise System installer provides Identity Server as a single installable component. The following Identity Server subcomponents can be installed separately:
- Identity Management and Policy Services Core. Provides the means for creating and managing user identities, and for defining and evaluating policies that provide access to Java Enterprise System resources based on users’ identities. This component includes the Identity Server SDK.
- Identity Server SDK. This software development kit (SDK) provides the tools and templates developers need to customize Identity Server to meet their company's needs.
- Identity Server Administration Console. This graphical interface consolidates identity services and policy management and provides a single interface for users to create and manage user accounts, service attributes, and access rules in the Directory Server.
- Common Domain Services for Federation Management. Enables users to use a single identity to access applications offered by multiple affiliated service providers.
Sun Java System Instant Messaging 6 2004Q2

Sun Java System Message Queue 3.5 Service Pack 1
Sun Java System Message Queue (Message Queue) is a standards-based solution to the problem of inter-application communication and reliable message delivery. Message Queue is an enterprise messaging system that implements the Java Message Service (JMS) open standard.
In addition to being a JMS provider, Message Queue has features that exceed the minimum requirements of the JMS specification. With the Message Queue software, processes running on different platforms and operating systems can connect to a common Message Queue service to send and receive information. Application developers are free to focus on the business logic of their applications, rather than on the low-level details of how their applications communicate across a network.
Message Queue is available in two editions:
- Enterprise Edition (default). Provides support for multi-broker message services, HTTP/HTTPS connections, secure and scalable connections, client connection failover, and client support for the C language. This edition is best suited to deploying and running messaging applications in a large-scale production environment.
- Platform Edition. Provides basic JMS support, and is best suited to small-scale deployments and development environments
The Java Enterprise System installer provides Message Queue Enterprise Edition and Message Queue Platform Edition as separately installable components.
Sun Java System Messaging Server 6 2004Q2

User Management Utility is automatically installed when you choose to install Identity Server.
Sun Java System Connector for Microsoft Outlook 6
Sun Java System Connector for Microsoft Outlook enables Outlook to be used as a desktop client with Sun Java Enterprise System. The connector is an Outlook plug-in that must be installed on the user desktop.
Connector for Microsoft Outlook queries Messaging Server for folder hierarchies and e-mail messages, then converts the information into Messaging API (MAPI) properties that Outlook can display. Similarly, Connector uses WCAP to query Calendar Server for events and tasks which are then converted into MAPI properties. With this model, Sun Java System Connector for Microsoft Outlook builds an end-user Outlook view from two separate information sources: mail from Messaging Server and calendar information from Calendar Server.
Sun Java System Connector for Microsoft Outlook is provided on the accessories CD, with its own installer.
