Hi Folks,
We are happy to announce the release of WSO2 Web Services Application
Server (WSAS) 2.1, the enterprise ready Web services engine powered by
Apache Axis2. WSAS is a Java runtime for hosting services & runs
standalone or in conjunction with Apache Tomcat, IBM WebSphere, BEA
WebLogic, JBossAS and any other servlet container. WSAS makes it easy to
develop, deploy and manage services using a graphical management console.
WSO2 WSAS is an open source product released under the Apache Software
License 2.0.
The core features of WSO2 WSAS include;
* Axis1 backward compatibility - Expose legacy Axis 1.x Web services
as Axis2 Web services & engage Axis2's WS-* protocols such as
WS-Security & WSRM in front of legacy services.
* Simple approach to provide WS-SecurityPolicy based Rampart
configuration with graphical tools, using a set of most common
security scenarios.
* Data services support - Easily expose data stored in a relational
database via a Web service API
* EJB service provider support - Easily expose EJBs as Web services
* WSAS IDE - Eclipse IDE plugin supporting code-first and
contract-first development
* Clustering support - Web service state replication & management of
WSAS nodes
* Full support for WS-Security, WS-Trust, WS-Policy and WS-Secure
Conversation and XKMS
* GUIs for popular Axis2 tools such as wsdl2java[1] & java2wsdl[2]
* GUI Tool for trying out any Web service[3]
* GUI tool for converting WSDL 1.1 to 2.0 documents[4]
* GUI based services.xml[5] & module.xml[6] validator
