IBM WebSphere Application Server Community Edition
open-in-new
<p>WebSphere Application Server Community Edition (WASCE) was a free-of-charge, certified <a href="/facts/Java_Platform,_Enterprise_Edition/7AAStd35">Java EE 6</a> <a href="/facts/Application_server/wHYtgYK5">application server</a> for building and managing <a href="/facts/Java_(programming_language)/9ScgFyAL">Java</a> applications. Until September 30, 2016, it was <a href="/facts/IBM/QszA7nwd">IBM</a>'s supported distribution of <a href="/facts/Apache_Geronimo/L03KVY8K">Apache Geronimo</a> that used <a href="/facts/Apache_Tomcat/psmVfM2B">Tomcat</a> for servlet container and <a href="/facts/Apache_Axis2/kzHWCkdU">Axis 2</a> for web services. Another difference from Apache Geronimo is that WASCE came with Db2 and Informix database drivers, better XML parser libraries (XML4J and XLXP) and contained the latest patches from unreleased upstream versions. Over 30 WASCE developers were committers in the <a href="/facts/Apache_Geronimo/L03KVY8K">Apache Geronimo</a> project. </p>
