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 OASIS Open CSAMember Section and the Open SOACollaboration:

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 a network of services (existing and new ones) that are defined in a language-neutral way. Tuscany implements the SCA Version 1.0specifications. Learn more about SCA

Latest Tuscany Releases

SCA Java 1.3.1 (August, 2008) SDO Java 1.1.1 (July 2008) DAS Java 1.0-incubating-beta2(Oct, 2007) SCA Native Incubator-M3 (May, 2007)

Service Data Objects (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 implements the SDO Version 2.1specifications. Learn more about SDO

Data Access Service (DAS) provides a simple SDO interface to relational databases. Learn more about DAS

Project Ideas

Integrate Tuscany & Google gadgets Implement Data Services And much more

The above mentioned technologies provide a full infrastructure for developing and running SOA based applications. They are not dependent on one another and they 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.
