AquaLogic Service Bus New Version Available

Thursday 11 January 2007

New features include support for some SOAP 1.2 services, Automatic Synchronization of Services from UDDI and a native Data Services Platform transport.

AquaLogic Service Bus 2.6 has just been released.

BEA AquaLogic Service Bus is an Enterprise-class service bus that connects, manages, and mediates interactions between heterogeneous services. AquaLogic Service Bus accelerates service configuration, integration, and deployment, thus simplifying management of shared services across the SOA.

AquaLogic Service Bus is policy-driven and enables loose coupling between service clients (service consumers) and business services (service providers). It provides a point of security control, monitoring, and Service Level Agreement (SLA) enforcement. Changes to service integration relationships are implemented dynamically through configuration, not code, allowing you to evolve and customize your service architectures with respect to security, service location, availability, data formats, monitoring, transports, communications, and so on.

As part of an enterprise messaging fabric, AquaLogic Service Bus can be used horizontally across many applications and systems, potentially spanning service implementations built by different teams in different departments. AquaLogic Service Bus separates a set of management functions from the service implementations, thus allowing the implementations to evolve independently and dynamically as driven by the needs of the business without requiring costly infrastructure development efforts.

For more information about AquaLogic Service Bus concepts and architecture, see BEA AquaLogic Service Bus Concepts and Architecture .

  • RDBMS Access from Proxy Services

Import XQuery functions

Dawei.X

Friday 12 January 2007

We did some investigations on ALSB2.5 with Bea workshop9.2.
One feature that the Bea workshop9.2 lacks is "Xquery function import", which means it is hard to reuse the exsiting Xquery functions... What about this?
