Successful integration & interoperability between distributed systems that run on diverse environments is a true challenge.

Web services stands out as a promising technology solution for all interoperability issues. The Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I) [1] was formed to facilitate interoperability work to enable faster standardization.

WSO2 projects WSO2 Web Services Application Server (WSAS) [1], WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) [1], WSO2 Mashup Server [1] and WSO2 WSF/Spring [1], Apache Web Services project, Axis2 [2] achieves interoperability between the following specifications & technology areas with other web services stacks:

 

Specifications	Technologies
SOAP MTOM WS-Addressing WS-Policy WS-Metadata Exchange WS-Reliable Messaging WS-Security WS-Trust WS-Secure Conversation WS-Security Policy WS-Federation Kerberos Token Profile SAML Token Profile WS-Coordination WS-Atomic Transactions WS-Business Activity WS-Eventing WS-Transfer WS-Management	Java C C++ Javascript JRuby Jython Groovy Spring Grails PHP Perl Ruby Python

 

Interop Portal [3]

Interoperability tests are hosted on this portal [4] that can be run by users to monitor and generate reports on interoperability between Web services stacks. Contact us to register [5] with the Interop portal.

Sample Applications
