From: Maura Karas [mailto:maura@bohle.com] Sent: Monday, June 05, 2000 10:35 AM Subject: Release - Software AG Announces Bolero 3.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SOFTWARE AG, INC. TO DELIVER BOLERO 3.1 TO U.S. MARKET XML-Compatible Java Development Platform Designed to Optimize, Advance Electronic Business Applications JAVA ONE 2000, SAN FRANCISCO - June 5, 2000 - Software AG, Inc. USA has announced Bolero 3.1, a newly-enhanced Java development environment specifically designed for building industrial-strength, electronic business applications. An object-oriented development and runtime environment for component-based applications running on Java, Bolero 3.1 is fully compatible with the new language of e-business, XML. The announcement of Bolero 3.1 follows the U.S. launch of Tamino, the world's first native XML server and Software AG's hallmark XML offering. Tamino and Bolero are integral components of the company's full suite of native XML products designed for electronic business. "With Bolero, developers can finally build high-performance, XML-enabled electronic business applications with ease," Dr. Helmut Wilke, Software AG, Inc., said. "Bolero 3.1 brings the power of XML to the universal Java platform, allowing programmers and application architects alike to achieve unparalleled development productivity and performance for environments using complex XML data." Bolero 3.1 offers a number of competitive advantages, including: -Transparent XML Support: Bolero 3.1 includes a new DTD class generator with built-in parsing support based on SAX and DOM, allowing instant processing of XML documents with no need for additional programming or extensive XML expertise. -Enterprise Java Bean (EJB) and Java Transaction Service (JTS) Support: Developers can now use Bolero within the infrastructure of the Java 2 Enterprise Edition, allowing for increased scalability and manageability of application components. Bolero 3.1 also allows for multi-database support with its advanced object-relational mapping technology, including distributed transaction handling based on JTS. - Direct Access to SAP's R/3 Systems: A newly-developed CLIP for SAP solutions allows developers to call R/3 functions directly from Bolero applications, and to transfer data from or to R/3. With such tight SAP function integration, Bolero does not require programmers to concern themselves with SAP details like data types, help values and language-specific field descriptions. -HoTMetaL PRO 6.0 Integration: Bolero 3.1 features Softquad Software's HoTMetaL PRO 6.0, one of the most powerful and versatile Web site creation and management tools on the market. Using Bolero 3.1 and HoTMetaL PRO 6.0, developers can quickly create Web pages and sites far more sophisticated than those created with standard Web applications. -Extended Team Development Capabilities: Bolero 3.1 includes a new central repository engine that gives joint developers universal access to the group's collective development results, while still in progress. Group members can access public or private workspaces utilizing check-in/check-out procedures. "Bolero is the 'power tool' for developing transaction-oriented electronic business applications for the Java platform," Harald Nehring, director of product marketing, Software AG, Darmstadt, Germany, said. "With its strong support of XML, among other critical new features, Version 3.1 is the 'must have' Java tool." Bolero is made up of two function groups: -Bolero Component Studio, or development environment, which enables the specification and production of component-based applications, and -Bolero Application Server, or runtime environment, which supports persistent database access, long transactions for coordinating complex business processes and communication with distributed applications. The Bolero Component Studio runs on Windows NT, with a version for Linux coming later this year. The Bolero Application Server is available for Microsoft Windows NT, Sun Solaris, IBM OS/390, AIX, Compaq TRU64 Unix, HP-UX, and Linux. Bolero 3.1 will ship worldwide in July 2000. The Bolero Personal Edition (PE) is available now free of charge for non-commercial use. About Software AG, Inc.
