BEA Tosses Beehive to Apache

BEA has tossed its new open source Project Beehive, due to be available this summer, into the Apache Software Foundation, making it the Apache Beehive, something of a mixed metaphor.

The contribution answers the question of the license that will govern Beehive; it'll be the standard Apache 2.0 license.

Several veteran open source developers in Apache have agreed to help guide the project.

Beehive is meant to be the first easy-to-use open source base for building service-oriented architecture (SOA) and enterprise Java-based programs, an anti-.NET thrust. Based on BEA's WebLogic Workshop, it's supposed to simplify Java development and broaden accessibility.

Beehive was designed to run on Apache Tomcat, the reference implementation for Java Servlet engines. With more than four million downloads of Tomcat since last year, Beehive can reportedly help Tomcat users scale their applications by connecting to the WebLogic platform.
