(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 10, 2001 ) WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- Cape Clear(tm) Software, a leading provider of Web Services technology, today announced that it has added full support for IBM(r) WebSphere(r) Application Server to its award-winning Web Services platform, CapeConnect(tm). CapeConnect is a fully featured Web Services platform, which enables corporations to link diverse applications together and deliver new collaborative applications over the Internet.

Web Services enable organizations to streamline business processes both on their corporate network and over the Internet. Web Services' support for open industry standards such as Extensible Markup Language (XML), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) means that new e-business applications can be built quickly and easily by a wider pool of developers than previously possible.

"As Web Services are being built and deployed in greater numbers, it's vital that the preeminent Web Services platforms support the diversity of corporate IT platforms, applications, and tools," said PJ Murray, Product Manager for CapeConnect at Cape Clear Software. "A growing number of Cape Clear customers are using CapeConnect to deploy Web Services from IBM WebSphere Application Server, therefore we believe it is important to offer out-of-the-box support for it in our platform. We are completely committed to working with leading industry vendors to support their technology within our Web Services platform."

"Web Services are offering exciting new opportunities to create compelling e-business applications," according to Rod Smith, Vice President of Emerging Technologies in IBM Software Group. "Thanks to well accepted industry standards such as SOAP and UDDI, corporations can build these applications in the knowledge that they will interoperate over the Internet with other Web Services regardless of their platform and language. Cape Clear's support for WebSphere in its Web Services platform recognizes WebSphere's popularity as a corporate deployment platform."

Cape Clear's award-winning CapeConnect product is a true Web Services platform, enabling developers to build Web Services without the need to understand enterprise technologies, like EJB(tm) or J2EE(tm), or XML technologies, such as SOAP and WSDL. CapeConnect is the industry's first Web Service Container, providing a rich runtime infrastructure. The container manages the life cycle of Web Services and allows the developer to concentrate on writing business logic, rather than infrastructure code. In summary, Cape Clear is extending the reach of Web Services to mainstream developers as well as enterprise architects.

CapeConnect Two for J2EE offers complete built-in support for WebSphere immediately. It can be downloaded from Cape Clear's Web site at:
