The Apache WS Stack

The Apache Web services project is home to the world's finest open source Web services projects. It is known to be the nurturing ground for leading Web service engines such Apache SOAP, Apache Axis and now Apache Axis2. It also hosts several Quality of Service (QoS) projects like Apache AXIOM, Apache Sandesha, Apache WSS4J, Apache Neethi, Apache Kandula and so on.

Apache Axis2 is the core engine of the WS stack and aims to be the platform of the next generation of Web services and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA). Building off of the highly popular Apache Axis project, it is already blazing the trail by being a clean and extensible open source Web services platform. In this session I will present to you how Apache Axis2 provides the basis for the entire Web services stack, supporting both SOAP and REST. The session will also introduce key components of the Apache Web services project including Apache Neethi(WS-Policy), Apache Rampart/Rahas (WSSec/Trust/SecConv), Sandesha2 (WS-ReliableMessaging), and Kandula2(WS-Transactions).
