Overview
Welcome to the Apache Tuscany project! The Tuscany community is working to create a robust and easy to use infrastructure that simplifies the development of service-based application networks and addresses real business problems posed in SOA.
Tuscany is based on specifications defined by the Open SOA Collaboration:
- Service Component Architecture (SCA) - An essential characteristic of SOA is the ability to assemble new and existing services to create brand new applications that may consist of different technologies. Service Component Architecture defines a simple, service-based model for construction, assembly and deployment of network of services (existing and new ones) that is language-neutral. Tuscany is working on SCA specification 1.0. Learn more about SCA
- Service Data Object (SDO) provides a uniform interface for handling different forms of data, including XML documents, that can exist in a network of services and provides the mechanism for tracking changes. Tuscany supports SDO specification 2.1. Learn more about SDO
- Data Access Service (DAS) provides a simple SDO interface to relational databases. Learn more about DAS
The above mentioned technologies provide a full infrastructure for developing and running SOA based applications. They are not dependent on one another and can be used independently.
Please join us to create a simple, practical, extensible SOA infrastructure to address the problems that large-scale applications and service networks are faced with. We look forward to your participation.
News
- June 5th, 2007, SCA Java releases its 0.90-incubating release.
This release represents a significant milestone on the road to Apache Tuscany SCA 1.0 release. It is based on the final 1.0 versions of the SCA specifications and it includes a substantial redesign of parts of the runtime which has significantly improved usability compared with previous releases, as well as stable SPIs for extension development. - May 16th, 2007, SDO Java releases its 1.0-incubating-beta1 release.
- May 9th, 2007, SDO Java achieves state of being a functionally complete implementation of the SDO 2.1 specification*
This was achieved at code revision level 536331. The community is working towards a new SDO release after a period
of enhancing the test suite and making bug fixes. - May 2nd, 2007, SCA Native Milestone 3 release is announced.
- May 2nd, 2007, SDO C++ Milestone 3 release is announced.
- April 11th, 2007, SCA and SDO specifications are with OASIS*
Open CSA will promote the further development and adoption of the Service Component Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Objects (SDO) families of specifications, which will be provided to the community on a Royalty Free basis.
Copyright © 2006, The Apache Software Foundation Apache Tuscany is undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the 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.
