Enhydra Enterprise Alpha 2 includes the following J2EE APIs: Servlet, JSP, JNDI, EJB, JTA, and JDBC.

2000-05-29: Open Source Project for Universities and Faculties.
This is the first Open Source Project for an administration system aiming to support universities and faculties. Our mission is to establish a standard OpenUSS API (Open University Support System Application Programming Interface) for a system that can be used for all universities and faculties. We also want to offer a reference implementation for this API. This system should make it easy to publish documents, lectures and exercises for professors, assistant and secretaries at the institute and faculty. Besides it should be the main portal for all the students to get the most up-to-date information for their lectures and exercises.
For more information look at our mission.
