Previous versions were marketed as '''Netscape Enterprise Server''', [[iPlanet]] Web Server, [[Sun ONE]] Web Server, and [[Sun Java System]] Web Server. Being the inventors of Java technology, the Java System Web Server naturally supports the JavaServer Pages and Java Servlet specifications. The product also supports Active Server Pages (via Sun Java System Active Server Pages (formerly Sun ONE Activer Server pages), which is bundled with the Java System Web Server), PHP, ColdFusion, and CGI. Oracle iPlanet Web Server is available on [[Solaris (operating system)\|Solaris]], [[Microsoft Windows\|Windows]], [[HP-UX]], [[IBM AIX\|AIX]], [[Linux]], supports [[JavaServer Pages\|JSP]] and [[Java Servlet]] technologies, [[PHP]], [[Netscape Server Application Programming Interface\|NSAPI]], [[Common Gateway Interface\|CGI]], and [[Adobe ColdFusion\|ColdFusion]]. ~~Sun Java System Web Server builds on the earlier Sun ONE Web Server, [[iPlanet]] Web Server, and [[Netscape Enterprise Server]] products.~~ ==History== ~~'''Key Features'''~~ The '''Netscape Enterprise Server''' [[web server]] was developed originally by [[Netscape Communications Corporation]] in 1996, based on its 1994 release of '''Netsite'''. The product was renamed [[Sun Java System Web Server]], reflecting the product's acquisition by [[Sun Microsystems]], and then, when Oracle acquired Sun in 2010,<ref>{{cite web\|title=Oracle and Sun Microsystems\|url=http://www.oracle.com/us/sun/index.html\|website=Strategic Acquisitions\|publisher=Oracle\|access-date=19 February 2015\|date=February 19, 2015}}</ref> to Oracle iPlanet Web Server.<ref>{{cite web\|title=Sun Software Products Map\|url=http://www.oracle.com/us/sun/sun-products-map-075562.html\|publisher=Oracle\|access-date=19 February 2015}}</ref> In January 2009, Sun open sourced core components of Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 under the [[BSD licenses\|BSD license]] as Open Web Server.<ref name="wsFOSS">{{cite web \|url=http://wikis.sun.com/display/wsFOSS/Open+Web+Server \|title=Open Web Server \|work=Sun Wikis \|publisher=[[Sun Microsystems]] \|date=2010-01-25 \|url-status=dead \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101230222831/http://wikis.sun.com/display/wsFOSS/Open+Web+Server \|archive-date=2010-12-30 \|access-date=2017-04-28 \|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref name="HO">{{cite web \|last1=Walker-Morgan \|first1=D.J. \|url=http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Sun-releases-open-fork-of-Sun-Java-System-Web-Server-739703.html \|title=Sun releases open fork of Sun Java System Web Server \|department=Open \|work=[[The H]] \|publisher=[[Heise Media UK]] \|date=2009-01-18 \|access-date=2017-04-28 \|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=Virkki \|first1=Jyri \|url=http://blogs.sun.com/jyrivirkki/entry/announcing_open_source_web_server \|title=Announcing Open Source Web Server \|work=Web Tier Thoughts \|publisher=[[Sun Microsystems]] \|date=2009-01-13 \|url-status=dead \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090122180255/http://blogs.sun.com/jyrivirkki/entry/announcing_open_source_web_server \|archive-date=2009-01-22 \|access-date=2017-04-28 \|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=Möllenkamp \|first1=Jörg \|url=http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/5203-Open-Web-Server.html \|title=Open Web Server \|work=c0t0d0s0.org \|date=2009-01-14 \|access-date=2017-04-28 \|df=mdy-all \|archive-date=2017-02-25 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170225213758/http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/5203-Open-Web-Server.html \|url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=Aker \|first1=Brian \|url=http://krow.livejournal.com/630580.html \|title=Netscape Enterprise Server, Now Open Source \|work=Brian "Krow" Aker's Idle Thoughts \|publisher=[[LiveJournal]] \|date=2009-01-16 \|url-status=live \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090119025122/http://krow.livejournal.com/630580.html \|archive-date=2009-01-19 \|access-date=2017-04-28 \|df=mdy-all}}</ref> The open source version was kept in sync with commercial releases until January 2010 (7.0 update 8).
