Montag / News: Recent posts

This is the first great goal : Montag web services are officially compliant to the WS-I Basic Profile 1.1 recommendations.

It took me an hard work to code and test services WSDLs and all the related stuff in order to achieve this ... but it was very worthwhile and now I feel happy for this result.

Moreover, for this piece of good work I must again thank Alex Saloustros for his precious .Net testing, and David Law for his testings about WS-I Basic Profile compliance.... read more

Hello all,

there are great news in the present and future of Montag.

These are, in a few words, the major features:... read more

Montag is a Java Web Services based system for interacting with Native XML Databases providing a Java implementation of the XML:DB API. It's a middleware which permits heterogeneous SOAP-enabled clients, written for different platforms and languages, to operate over Native XML Databases, through the exposition of a configurable set of SOAP Web Services.
Montag version 0.7 comes with a new, clearer and simpler, configuration process. Take a look at: http://montag.sourceforge.net/docs/configuration.html... read more

For the next Montag release, I'm working on a clearer and easier configuration process.
So, this is the question: do you want to keep the explicit Xindice embedded configuration file or to remove it, for gaining a simpler configuration?
You can answer using this forum or sending me an e-mail.
Thanks.
