Abstract
Apache Beehive is an open-source project for creating a lightweight, metadata-driven component model for J2EE- and SOA-based applications. Beehive is a cross-container framework that provides a consistent, abstract, and easily toolable programming model, providing a way for developers to more productively build applications. The framework leverages the latest innovations in the forthcoming JDK 5.0, particularly JSR 175 metadata annotations. It builds on key Apache projects such as Tomcat, Struts, and Axis.
The goal of the project is to attract new users to a simpler way to build enterprise Java applications, while also attracting experienced J2EE programmers with a model that saves them from writing the same J2EE plumbing code over and over again.
BEA evolved Beehive from its BEA WebLogic Workshop product, and in May 2004 contributed it to the Apache Software Foundation's Incubator project. Beehive continues to be essential part of BEA WebLogic Platform, providing a simplified development model for all Platform applications.
