Red Hat is pleased to announce the general availability of Red Hat
Application Server v1.0 Beta 1.
This is a public beta. Please feel free to forward this announcement
to anyone within or outside your organization who may be interested

Red Hat Application Server is a key component of Red Hat 's
Open Source Architecture, a road map for the open source
technologies and capabilities Red Hat and its partners will be
building in the future -- spanning the operating system, middleware,
applications, and management tools.
Red Hat Application Server includes:
- Tomcat 4.1.27, the official Reference Implementation of
the Java Servlet 2.3 and JavaServer Pages 1.2 technologies.
- Struts 1.0.2, a framework for building web applications with Java.
- JOnAS 3.3, ObjectWeb 's J2EE implementation, with web-based
administration.
- Sample JOnAS and Struts web applications.
- Supporting modules for file uploads, AJP and WARP protocols, and
JDBC drivers for MySQL.

The Red Hat Application Server development team would like to encourage

upgrades from one beta release to another, nor from beta to
official released products.
