AdobeLiveCycle Enterprise Suite (ES) is a suite of J2EE-based J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) server software products from Adobe Systems. LiveCycle ES combines its PDF (Portable Document Format) technology and Flex (Flash-based UI technology) to develop "customer engagement applications" that provide end users with a dynamic and intuitive user experience that can be used inside or outside the firewall, in both online or offline environments. LiveCycle "ES" (Enterprise Suite) is the newest version of LiveCycle software and currently available in pre-release on the Adobe Developer website.
The products included with LiveCycle ES can be broadly classified into tooling products and LiveCycle ES "solution components" which include many of the SOA components used to develop LiveCycle applications.
