Treffer: JackBe reveals SOA and Ajax plan.

The article reports that Sun Microsystems Inc. has lost some of its experts in service-oriented architecture(SOA) and Java to the company JackBe, a web software and services provider. JackBe, which released one of the first Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) tool kits had signed three of Sun's top Java and SOA engineers including distinguished engineer and chief Java architect John Crupi, to build out a platform combining support. The JackBe tools and services will also work with Microsoft .Net via its web services and standards support. JackBe is making the transition from being a tool kit vendor to being a more strategic developer with a services team that will build custom Ajax applications for its clients.
