Welcome to WSO2 Web Services Application Server (WSO2 WSAS) , v2.1

10th October 2007 - WSO2 WSAS , v2.1 Released!

[Download] | [Documentation Home] | [Release Note]

The Web services (WS) platform, based on XML messaging, is the only enterprise-class platform for integration that is completely open and agreed across the industry. Based on the concept of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), the Web services specifications support secure, reliable and transactional integration based on the concept of loose coupling, which is inherently scalable. Many vendors have "bolted on" support for Web services and XML to their existing proprietary product solutions. WSO2 has created a new platform that cuts out unnecessary layers ? supporting the full WS-* stack in a simple, clean, lightweight model, making it easier to develop, deploy and run applications.

WSO2 WSAS is an application server for Web services. With its built in high-performance Web server, full support for XML, SOAP, WSDL, and support for reliable, secure communications, WSO2 WSAS makes it simple and effective to create, consume and manage Web services.

WSO2 WSAS supports most of the major components of the WS-* stack and provides an integrated runtime that is easy for developers and administrators to use.

WS-* Support

WSO2 WSAS brings together a number of open source projects into a single, seamless, easy-to-use offering. Instead of having to download the different parts of the Apache Web services stack separately and assemble them together, we have done that for you and offer you a single integrated package.

Open Source Components of WSO2 WSAS

WSO2 WSAS can be used in a number of different scenarios:

WSO2 WSAS is a fully open source product. WSO2 contributes to the Apache Software Foundation's Web services project through a combination of leading open source components. Together with our own integration code, WSO2 offers production quality open source software. All our integration code ? including the unified management console is available under the Apache Software License version 2.0. We call it "source from the source".
