| | Borland unwraps Kylix 2.0 |
 | | Kylix 2.0, particularly when used in conjunction with Borland's Delphi 6.0 toolset, constitutes the company's strategy for providing developers with the means to build Web services on Linux and the open source Apache Web server, according to Simon Thornhill, vice president and general manager of Borland's rapid application development group. |
 | | Thornhill said that the combination of Kylix and Delphi is not meant to be used in Microsoft.NET's or Sun J2EE's stead but, rather, to build upon the infrastructures that customers already have. |
 | | In specific, those standards are XML and SOAP, which ideally enable companies to swap documents and data between otherwise disparate systems, as well as WSDL for describing Web services and UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration), which serves as the basis for building registries that store Web services so they can be located and accessed. |
