The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM

WSO2, an open source SOA provider, announced the launch of WSO2 Data Services 2.0, a re-architected open source WSO2 data services product.
ebizQ received the following:
The modular WSO2 Data Services 2.0 product is intended to enable DBAs and database programmers to create and manage WS-* style Web services and REST-style Web resources using enterprise data. It is based on the WSO2 Carbon framework, in which all major features of WSO2 SOA middleware products have been developed as pluggable Carbon components.
As a result, users can plug in extra components to handle a broad range of tasks. For example, users no longer need to deploy WSO2 Data Services 2.0 and the WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) 2.0 as separate products. Instead, users who need to implement data services in an existing schema can simply add the WSO2 mediation component to WSO2 Data Services, saving days in time.
“WSO2 Data Services addresses the demand among enterprises to quickly and easily take data from a wide variety of sources and expose it as Web services within their SOAs,” said Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, founder and CEO of WSO2. “With version 2.0, end users now have the flexibility to customize and adapt their Data Services deployments as their SOA requirements evolve.”
WSO2 Data Services 2.0 offers a new extensible server administration framework that lets DBAs add custom extensions to gain greater flexibility and control over their deployments. Customization can range from simply reformatting the Data Services logs into a preferred format to writing a bridge application that allows the Data Services server to be remotely managed—and even restarted—via a mobile phone.
WSO2 Data Services 2.0 also include enhanced administration user interface, offering a more logical and easy-to-use configuration model. Another feature, WS-Policy Editor. enables users to configure services using the W3C standard.
The new solution also includes support for events, including support for graphical declaration of event sources and mediation for event delivery, for use in event-driven architectures (EDA).
Version 2.0 builds on the proven performance of WSO2 Data Services, which enables anyone with a knowledge of the industry-standard SQL language to quickly create powerful data services that can be shared and accessed across the network. WSO2 Data Services supports access to data stored in relational databases such as Oracle, MySQL and IBM DB2 (virtually any database accessible via JDBC), as well as the comma-separated values (CSV) file format, and Excel spreadsheets. Services can be authenticated, encrypted and/or signed using the WS-Security and HTTP security standards, and support for WS-ReliableMessaging provides enterprise-level reliability.
WSO2 Data Services 2.0 is now part of the WSO2 Carbon SOA framework, based on the OSGi specification, that provides all WSO2 Carbon SOA components with enterprise-class management, security, clustering, logging, statistics, tracing, and a “Try-It” wizard that makes it simple to instantly test data services. Additionally, WSO2 Data Services uses the graphical unified management console, which supports all Carbon components and provides enhanced administration. Any components added to WSO2 Data Services 2.0 are automatically recognized by the core Carbon platform and unified management console.

A lot of people are talking about Enterprise 2.0 as being the business application of Web 2.0 technology. However, there's still some debate on exactly what this technology entails, how it applies to today's business models, and which components bring true value. Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform. Still others say that Enterprise 2.0 is all of these things. Learn More
