Product descriptions

Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software V7.0
The IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere software application helps Java™ developers create Java/Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), portal, Web, Web services, and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) applications. This integrated development environment helps you to rapidly design, develop, assemble, test, and deploy these applications.

The Rational Application Developer visual tools can be leveraged to reduce manual coding by abstracting the J2EE programming model, making it easier for those less familiar with Java technology to complete development projects. It is designed to be a highly flexible development tool based on the Eclipse open framework, with a range of flexible installation options.

DB2 Enterprise V9.0
DB2 9 (formerly known as Viper) is a leading edge hybrid data server capable of supporting both relational and pureXML™ storage. pureXML provides seamless integration of XML with relational data that speeds application development, improves search performance with highly optimized XML indexes, enables information as a service, and is flexible because both SQL and XQuery can be used to query XML data.
WebSphere Application Server V6.1
IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1 is the foundation of the IBM WebSphere software platform, and a key building block for a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). As the premier Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE™) and Web services application platform, WebSphere Application Server V6.1 delivers a high performance transaction engine that can help you build, run, integrate and manage dynamic, On Demand Business™ applications.
