In a new submission from Alex Pagnoni today:

The open source, J2EE like, iConnect PHP architecture is out. It is based on PHP 5 and the Carthag (www.carthag.org) applications platform and features:

• a methodology for architecting PHP applications in a distributed environment under growing load (Internet);
• a set of specifications;
• an enterprise application server, like EJB, called CBM (Carthag Business Modules);
• a web application server, like a servlet engine, that relies on Apache, called IxAS (Ix Application Server);
• a portlet-like portal server engine, called Ampoliros, that is a completely new product from the previous Ampoliros web applications platform, and uses the most powerful templating engine available: PHP itself;
• some other frameworks/tools, like the WUI - Web User Interface.
