The Apache Rampart Team has released the version 1.4 of Apache Rampart
Apache Rampart 1.4 is a toolkit that provides implementations of the WS-Sec specifications for Apache Axis2 1.4, based on Apache WSS4J 1.5.4 and the Apache AXIOM-DOOM 1.2.7 implementations.
You can download the releases from: http://ws.apache.org/rampart/download/1.4/download.cgi
There are two main Apache Axis2 modules provided with this release.
Apache Rampart 1.4 uses a configuration model based on WS-Policy and WS-Security Policy. It is important to note that the Apache Rampart 1.0 style configuration is also available even though being marked as deprecated.
Apache Rampart 1.4 can be successfully used with the next Apache Sandesha2 release targeted towards Apache Axis2 1.4 to configure WS-SecureConversation + WS-ReliableMessaging scenarios.
The rampart module was successfully tested for interoperability with other WS-Security implementations.

The Apache Tuscany team is pleased to announce the 1.0-incubating release of the Java SDO project.
This project provides an implementation of the SDO 2.1 specification and this is our first release to provide full coverage of the specification. In addition to completing the few remaining SDO 2.1 features there are a number of new features relating to XML serialization, new support for handling dynamic derivation from static classes and improvement to the sample programs. For the full change history take a look at RELEASE NOTES
To download SDO Java or for more information about the release go to: http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany/sdo-java-releases.html
Apache Tuscany welcomes your help. Any contribution, including code, testing, improving the documentation, or bug reporting is always appreciated. For more information on how to get involved in Apache Tuscany visit the website at: http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany.
(Tuscany is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Web services PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.)

The Apache Synapse team is pleased to announce the first full release of
Apache Synapse with the 1.0 release.
Apache Synapse is a simple and highly effective Web Services
intermediary and SOA framework. It can be
added to your existing network very simply either as a services gateway
or as an HTTP proxy. Once Apache
Synapse is mediating your service requests it can perform many functions
including routing, load-balancing,
transformation and protocol switching. Apache Synapse can be used to
build an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) or
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).
Apache Synapse has been designed to support very fast XML routing with a
streaming XML design based upon
Apache Axiom. in addition, the use of a completely asynchronous
architecture and non-blocking IO based on Java NIO
ensures that Synapse has very low overhead and can scale to support
thousands of concurrent clients without dropping
messages.
The main features of Synapse include:
* Support for XML/HTTP, JMS, SOAP 1.1/1.2, WS-Addressing, MTOM binary
attachments
* Simple protocol switching between XML/HTTP (POX) and SOAP, JMS and HTTP
* Built in support for XPath and Regex based routing, XSLT-based
transformations
* High-performance non-blocking HTTP and HTTPS support (based on Apache
HttpCore)
- millisecond-level routing
- supports thousands of concurrent connections
* Load-balancing, failover and throttling support
* Support for advanced Web Services standards
* WS-ReliableMessaging
* WS-Security
* WS-Policy
* JMS support including text, binary, XML and SOAP/JMS
* Logging and header-manipulation
* Extensible via scripting languages including JavaScript, Groovy and Ruby
- full support for native XML via E4X and REXML
- Apache BSF support enables many scripting languages
* Custom Java classes or Spring Framework assemblies allow Synapse to be
extended
* Extensibility model allows the core XML configuration language to be
enhanced by plugin JARs
* Support for timeouts, fault handling and recovery
* A large number of default samples including content-based routing,
XSLT, WS-Security and other topics
* Built in test/sample server based on Apache Axis2 for prototyping and
testing
* Ability to load scripts, metadata, configuration and resources from a
remote registry
* Optional dynamic update to routing tables and other configuration
* Support for JDK 1.4 and 1.5
The major changes since the 0.91 release are:
* Upgraded to use Apache Axis2 1.2
* Addition of the non-blocking HTTP and HTTPS transport
* Improved samples and documentation
* Enhanced support for WSDL endpoints and load-balancing, throttling and

Apache AXIOM is a StAX-based, XML Infoset compliant object model which supports on-demand building of the object tree. It supports a novel "pull-through" model which allows one to turn off the tree building and directly access the underlying pull event stream. It also has built-in support for XML Optimized Packaging (XOP) and MTOM, the combination of which allows XML to carry binary data efficiently and in a transparent manner. The combination of these results in a easy to use API with a very high performant architecture
Initialy developed as part of Apache Axis2, Apache AXIOM (AXIs Object Model) is the core of Apache Axis2. However, it is a pure standalone XML Infoset model with novel features and can be used independently of Apache Axis2.

The Apache Axis2 Development Team is very proud to announce that Apache Axis2 1.0 has been released.
Apache Axis2 is a complete re-design and re-write of the widely used Apache Axis SOAP stack to build on the lessons learnt from Apache Axis.
Apache Axis2 not only supports SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2, but it also has integrated support for the widely popular REST style of Web services: the same business logic implementation can offer both a WS-* style interface as well as a REST style interface simultaneously.
Apache Axis2 is more efficient, more modular and more XML-oriented than the older version. It is carefully designed to support the easy addition of plug-in "modules" that extend its functionality for features such as security and reliability. Modules currently available or under development include:
Apache Axis2 is built on Apache Axiom (WebServices Commons), a new high performant, pull-based XML object model that was released two days ago.

After nearly 2 years of development and numerous incremental releases, The Apache WebServices Commons Project is proud to announce the release of Version 1.0 of Apache AXIOM. (Download : http://ws.apache.org/commons/axiom/download.cgi )
Apache AXIOM is a StAX-based, XML Infoset compliant object model which supports on-demand building of the object tree. It supports a novel "pull-through" model which allows one to turn off the tree building and directly access the underlying pull event stream. It also has built in support for XML Optimized Packaging (XOP) and MTOM, the combination of which allows XML to carry binary data efficiently and in a transparent manner. The combination of these is an easy to use API with a very high performant architecture.
Developed as part of Apache Axis2, Apache AXIOM is the core of Apache Axis2. However, it is a pure standalone XML Infoset model with novel features and can be used independently of Apache Axis2.

The Apache XML-RPC developers are proud to announce the availability of Apache XML-RPC 2.0. Apache XML-RPC is an implementation of the popular XML RPC specification (see http://www.xmlrpc.com/ for details), a language independent protocol for remote procedure calls based on XML and HTTP.
Compared to the predecessor, version 1.2, a lot of refactoring has occurred. In particular, you may now choose between various HTTP implementations, including a very lightweight implementation or the Jakarta Commons HTTP Client. However, the most important change is, that the current version will hopefully receive active maintenance, which the previous didn't in the last one or two years.

Overview of Apache Axis2
===========================
Axis2 is an effort to re-design and totally re-implement both Axis/Java and (eventually) Axis/C++ on a new architecture. Evolving from the now standard "handler chain" model which Axis1 pioneered, Axis2 is developing a more flexible pipeline architecture which can yet be managed and packaged in a more organized manner. This new design acknowledges the maturing of the Web services space in terms of new protocols such as WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security and WS-Addressing that are built on top of the base SOAP system.
At the time Axis1 was designed, while it was fully expected that other protocols such as WS-ReliableMessaging would be built on top of it, there was no proper extension architecture defined to enable clean composition of such layers. Thus, one of the key motivations for Axis2 is to provide a clean and simple environment for extensions like Apache Sandesha and Apache WSS4J to layer on top of the base SOAP system.
Another driving force for Axis2 is to move away from RPC oriented Web services towards more document-oriented, message style asynchronous service interactions. The Axis2 project is centered on a new representation for SOAP messages called AXIOM (AXIs Object Model). AXIOM consists of two parts: a complete XML Infoset representation and a SOAP Infoset representation on top of that. The XML Infoset representation provides a JDOM-like simple API but is built on a deferred model via a StAX-based (Streaming API for XML) pull parsing API. A key feature of AXIOM is that it allows one to stop building the XML tree and just access the pull stream directly; thus enabling both maximum flexibility and maximum performance. This approach allows us to support multiple levels of abstraction for consuming and offering Web services: using plain AXIOM, using generated code and statically data-bound data types and so on.
At the time of Axis1's design, RPC-style, synchronous, request-response interactions were the order of the day for Web services. Today service interactions are much more message-oriented and exploit many different message exchange patterns. The Axis2 engine architecture is careful to not build in any assumptions of request-response patterns to ensure that it can be used easily to support arbitrary message exchange patterns.
