I started developing Java in my first job in 1998. On that workplace, some developers before me had evaluated some kind of Java framework called "San Francisco", if I remember it right, before I joined, but decided against it. If I remember it right, it was IBM that were behind that. Is someone familiar with it? Some pre-J2EE thing..?

- mongol 6y agoYes this must have been it. Seems like something that didn't get traction...? I was wondering if it was the origin of something that came later such as servlets or EJB or something...
- fauigerzigerk 6y agoIt wasn't on the same level of abstraction as EJB or Servlets. "San Francisco" was a business-level framework that had components for things like inventory and order management, invoicing, pricing and discounting, etc. I guess the idea was that in-house developers would write line-of-business applications on top of it instead of customising something like SAP or Oracle Applications. It didn't get much traction as a concept, but I wouldn't be surprised if something like it still existed in some corner of IBM's consulting business.
- mongol 6y agoOkay, thanks for explaining!
