• WS-Policy (supports separate policies for incoming/outgoing messages)
• MTOM/SwA optimizations for binary messages
• XML/HTTP (POX)
• REST formats

• Clustering
• Security
• Reliable Messaging
• User management
• Request throttling
• Response caching
• Logging & monitoring

User friendly management console

The  management console allows you to deploy, manage and debug Web service applications easily. You no longer need to run the management console UIs on your production machines. Simply fire up the management console on your personal machine, point it to any machine in a production system and manage the remote production server.

Expose Existing POJOs, Spring Beans or EJBs as Web Services

Easily expose existing business objects as Web services. The Qualities of Service offered by these components can be further enhanced using the WSAS QoS modules.

Data Services

Data in either a database or file system is easily service-enabled. Business applications can be directly layered on top of the data using this approach. It may be against the organizational security policies to expose the complete database hosted within the organization. In such a scenario, only the required subset of information can be exposed to the outside world as Web services.

Visualization of Axis2 Message Flow Handler Chains

This feature comes in handy during development and troubleshooting of Web services.

Response times at each level are available to view the behavior of the system, service and operation. This is helpful during the development and production phase. In addition to service requests, response and fault counts are also logged displaying the number of hits for a service and the number of faults. There is also an indicator of memory utilization on how the server performs under high loads. Graphical views of performance and memory utilization statistics are available to compare how system behavior varies with time. This effectively helps monitor the service performance.

WSAS comes pre-configured with several widely used security scenarios which when applied to a service, secures the service. Now Web services developers no longer have to understand the complex WS-Security & WS-SecurityPolicy specifications. Easy to use graphical UI based wizards enable the user to enable & configure advanced security scenarios within a matter of minutes.
