Stonehenge is a set of example applications for Service Oriented Architecture that spans languages and platforms and demonstrates best practise and interoperability.
Why Apache Stonehenge ?
The aim of the Stonehenge project is to develop a set of sample applications to demonstrate seamless interoperability across multiple underlying platform technologies by using currently defined W3C and OASIS standard protocols. By having a set of sample applications, with multiple language and framework implementations will become a useful and important part of the SOA landscape. It will:
* illustrate and develop best practice for interoperable applications that communicate via distributed protocols,
* demonstrate interoperability between platforms,
* provide sample code upon which SOA developers can build,
* help identify interoperability issues and their solutions, and
* build confidence in cross-platform deployment of SOA technologies.
