The JBoss development team at Red Hat has released JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.3, featuring upgraded messaging and Web services technologies.

The platform offers open source technologies for building and deploying enterprise Java application services. It integrates the JBoss Application Server with JBoss’s Hibernate object-relational mapping software and Seam application framework for building Web 2.0 applications.

JBoss Messaging serves as the messaging architecture for JBoss 4.3, 5.0 and beyond, the company said. It is an upgrade over the prior JBossMQ component, according to Red Hat. JBoss Web Services, another component of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, supports JAX-WS (Java API for XML Web Services), a Web services API that replaced JAX-RPC 1.0 in the Java stack.

Red Hat is offering subscriptions to JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. The company released version 4.3 last week.
