WSO2 Unveils Web Services Framework for Ruby
(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
WSO2, the open source SOA company, announced the debut of the WSO2 Web
Services Framework for Ruby (WSF/Ruby) 1.0 -- the open source framework
for providing and consuming Web services in the Ruby object-oriented
programming language.
WSF/Ruby 1.0 is the first Ruby extension to offer extensive support for
the Web services (WS-*) stack. For the first time, developers can bring
to Ruby the security and reliable messaging that are required for
trusted, enterprise-class SOAP-based Web services.
WSF/Ruby 1.0 enables developers to consume Web services with either the
WS-* stack or HTTP. It is a binding of the Web Services Framework for C
(WSF/C) into Ruby, providing a fully open source Ruby extension based
on Apache Axis2/C, Apache Sandesha2/C, and Apache Rampart/C.
Additionally, WSF/Ruby uses the Ruby on Rails (RoR) open source Web
development framework as its deployment model for providing services,
allowing developers to combine the programming ease of RoR with the
enterprise-class functionality to support a service-oriented
architecture (SOA).
"Ruby's popular, human-centric approach to programming has been
extended to the Internet by Ruby on Rails. With the rollout of WSF/Ruby
1.0, developers get the best of both worlds, combining ease of
programming with the robust enterprise functionality required for
business-critical Web services," said Sanjiva Weerawarana, CEO of WSO2.
"Now, for the first time, developers have a trusted platform for
integrating Ruby into their enterprise service-oriented architectures."
The WSO2 Web Services Framework for Ruby features both client and
service APIs. The client API for consuming Web services uses the
WSClient class for one-way and two-way service invocation support. The
service API for providing Web services uses the WSService class with
support for one-way and two-way operations. Both the client and service
APIs incorporate the Wessage class to handle message-level options.
WSF/Ruby 1.0 supports basic Web services standards, including SOAP 1.1
and SOAP 1.2. It also is fully tested and provides proven
interoperability with Microsoft .NET, the Apache Axis2/Java-based WSO2
Web Services Application Server (WSAS), and other J2EE implementations.
