Performance degradation has not been an issue.
"We've had more than 70 production applications of this at this point and we haven't had a problem with architecting solutions that meet the performance requirements," Miller said.
He added that XAware is "very scalable" due to its design.
"Because of the way we've implemented our solution as a runtime -- it can run inside an app server and it's Spring Framework based and it has a very lightweight footprint at runtime -- it lends itself very well to being able to take advantage of the clustering and scale-out capabilities that the app server environments bring to you," Miller said.
XAware 5.0 is available for free use and commercial license. The product can be downloaded at the XAware Open Source Community site here.
