Achieving compatibility means SAP customers and partners can develop robust Java applications on the SAP NetWeaver platform using the latest mature technology standards - simplifying and accelerating application development projects.
Java EE 5 represents a significant step forward to simplify the Enterprise Java programming model.
The design goals of Java EE were to streamline features and convenience to the platform, thereby improving performance and reducing development time.
For SAP customers and partners developing applications on the SAP NetWeaver platform, compatibility of SAP NetWeaver Application Server with Java EE 5 will enable them to measurably speed time to market with enterprise service-orientated architecture (enterprise SOA) based applications and reduce overall total cost of ownership (TCO).
It also provides out-of-the-box connectivity to all SAP systems.

"SAP is at the forefront of adopting standards as the standards mature".
"Customers are developing applications today with full confidence that they adhere to the latest standards".
