Blending: The Best of Both Worlds
Mixing Open Source and commercial software isn't a new concept. IT departments have been doing it for years, especially when building out their core server, networking, and database infrastructures. But using a novel "blended" application development strategy - one that combines Enterprise Java APIs and Open Source Java application frameworks - offers the best of both worlds.
Better Java-based Enterprise Apps with Open Source and Commercial Tools
Many IT organizations already depend on Open Source software for some of their application development or deployment. But pure Open Source solutions don't always meet enterprise requirements. Using a blended application development and deployment model lets developers pick the right tool for the job and results in more flexible deployment options.
Approaches to Blended Software Development
So what is blended application development? It does not mean randomly taking bits of Open Source software and adding a commercial wrapper ("strip mining") or attempting to increase the adoption of slow-moving technology by donating it to the Open Source community ("waste dumping").
