DYS also launched Control! Desktop Edition that targets smaller-sized shops with up to 5,000 e-mail seats. The Desktop Edition provides the same management diagnostic capabilities as the enterprise version, said DYS, but is geared towards installation on typical desktop-class PCs, rather than on servers.

Brightline Technology also put the Lotusphere forum to good use Monday by introducing a Java application server that integrates with Lotus Domino's messaging and collaboration platform. The Brightline Application Server, priced at $2,500, allows customers to host J2EE 1.3 applications from Domino, including those built with Java standards such as JavaServer Pages, Enterprise JavaBeans, and Java Messaging Services. The server utilizes Domino's security model in J2EE apps, and lets administrators manage J2EE servers and applications through a Notes client, the company said.

Another Java vendor, Trilog Group, on Monday shipped FlowBuilder 3.0, a J2EE framework for creating Java applications that now sports tools for building portlets within WebSphere Portal Server and IBM Lotus Workplace. FlowBuilder also lets corporate and consulting developers migrate Domino apps to those portal platforms, said Trilog.
