Open Source and BEA

BEA believes in open source. We believe a blended strategy for application development and deployment—combining the best of open source and commercial software—provides important freedom and flexibility not available through all-or-nothing approaches. Here are some of the open source projects we are involved in, together with technical articles about these projects.

Open Source Projects

Spring Framework

Spring

The Spring Framework enables a simpler, POJO based, approach to J2EE development. WebLogic Server embraces Spring, as exemplified by the recently released Spring on WebLogic kit (download).
