APACHE SYNAPSE PROJECT RELEASES 0.91 AND BECOMES PART OF APACHE WS PROJECT Open Source SOA Framework becomes part of Apache and releases software. For Immediate Release -- Contact: http://www.apache.org/ -- January XX, 2007 -- The Apache Group today announced that the Apache Synapse project had graduated from the Incubator to become a full-fledged Apache initiative as part of the Web Services project. In addition, the Apache Synapse team has released a new version - 0.91 - of the project. Apache Synapse is a simple XML and Web Services management and integration broker that can form the basis of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). Apache Synapse is an offshoot of the highly successful Apache Axis and Axis2 projects, and it offers the ability to mediate, manage and transform XML messages between different applications. "We are very pleased to have become a full member of the Apache community", said Paul Fremantle, VP of Technology at WSO2 and a committer on the project. "Apache Synapse is a great piece of technology, but what this move indicates is that we have become a successful part of the Apache Open Source community." OPEN SOURCE SOA FRAMEWORK Apache Synapse aims to help organizations build Service Oriented Architectures based on Open Source and Open Standards. Using a simple configuration file, Synapse allows users to add a whole new level of control to their existing integration links, and create new links between applications, without rewriting existing code. The Apache Synapse 0.91 release offers a wide range of mediation capabilities, including support for a number of open standards, including XML, XSLT, XPath, SOAP, HTTP, JMS, Web Services Security, Web Services Reliable Messaging (WS-RM), SMTP and Web Services Addressing. Synapse supports a number of useful functions out-of-the-box without programming, but it also can be extended using popular programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, Ruby, and Groovy. Synapse can be used in a number of situations, including bridging between SOAP and non-SOAP system, offloading support for WS-RM and WS-Security, logging and monitoring interactions, content-based routing and more. Synapse can also form the core runtime of an SOA governance solution. The team has recently added support for remote registries making it even easier to integrate Synapse into a wider SOA solution. "In the complex world of Web Services, with lots of WS-* specifications, Apache Synapse is a very welcome addition", said Tijs Rademakers, Software Architect for Atos Origin and a committer on the project. "With the simple-to-use, but very powerful Synapse configuration language, implementing functions like transformation, validation and routing is a breeze. Even dealing with complex standards like WS-Addressing, WS-Security, WS-Policy and WS-Reliable Messaging becomes easy."

Just a quick FYI update: Paul pinged me on IM this morning about this. I suggested that they continue to work on a draft PR and submit to us for review and approval (not only of content but "worthiness" (for lack of a better term).
