WSO2 Web Services Application Server 2.0 Sets New Standards in Simplifying Web ServicesJuly 17, 2007; 03:24 AM Version 2.0 builds on the proven performance of WSO2 WSAS, the first application server to support the full XML-based WS-* stack and REST in a simple, clean, lightweight model that makes it easier to develop, deploy, manage, and monitor Web services. The completely open source, openly developed WSAS 2.0 is based on Apache Axis2, one of the world’s fastest Java Web services engines, and features a lightweight Ajax administration console to simplify configuration and management. With more than 3000 transactions per second on a dual-core system, the highly tuned WSAS 2.0 runs four to five times faster than Axis1. “As enterprises accelerate their development of service-oriented architectures, they’re increasingly turning to open source middleware that provides the flexibility to choose the solutions that best suit their SOA needs — today and in the future,” said Sanjiva Weerawarana, CEO of WSO2. “With version 2.0, we’re delivering a mature, enterprise-class platform that significantly extends the ability to leverage existing corporate data and development tools, scalability to meet large-scale deployments, and Web security for trusted Web-based interactions.” Key features of the WSO2 WSAS 2.0 include:
“In building SOAs, enterprises want to leverage their existing and vast investments in application development and management of corporate data,” said Ronald Schmelzer, senior analyst and founder of ZapThink, LLC, an SOA-focused analysis and advisory firm. “By simplifying the ability to deliver Web Services based on Eclipse and EJBs, as well as capture relational data, Version 2 of WSO2’s WSAS helps to advance the industry forward in facilitating broader SOA adoption.” Availability and Support The WSO2 Web Services Application Server 2.0 begins general availability this week. It can run as a standalone system or on top of an existing application server. As a fully open source solution, the WSAS 2.0 does not carry any software licensing fees. WSO2 offers a range of service and support options for the WSO2 WSAS 2.0. These include consulting, custom development, and sponsorship of open source feature development; development and production support; and training.
