Membrane SOA Registry is an open source Web Services Registry providing:
* Availability and performance monitoring
* Monitoring of WSDL changes and versioning
* A generic Web Services client for testing
* A Web Service lifetime history
* Alerting over an Atom newsfeed
* Web 2.0 features like tagging and rating
* Dependency Management
* Reporting
* Endpoint Management
The Registry is leightweight and can be installed in less than 5 minutes.
Organisations are using increasingly Web Services and are getting more and more dependent on these services. To minimize risks and to streamline the development and use of services SOA governance should be applied. A lot of SOA experts believe a registry is complicated to install and to maintain. Membrane registry is different: it can be installed in minutes and it gathers valuable information of your SOA by monitoring and analysing existing artifacts like WSDL documents and XML schemas.
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.
The ActiveBPEL™ engine is a robust runtime environment that is capable of executing process definitions created for the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) standard.
Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI.
SOA und Open Source sind zwei der wichtigsten Trends in der IT. Die Verbindung von beiden bringt Unternehmen mehr Flexibilität bei geringeren Kosten. Die SOPERA GmbH möchte seinen Klienten helfen, dieses Nutzenpotential zu schöpfen.
