XAware Data Integration Project / News: Recent posts

XAware 5.0.1 is GA.

Released March 19th, 2008 SVN Build 5.0.963

In addition to some background work to support upcoming features, including commercial products, this release includes the following:

* The XML Mapping BizComponent wizards now support target namespaces and nested maps, which means you can map multiple sets of repeating child elements into new XML structures. (Sourceforge feature request 891515) New examples demonstrate nested maps (select File|New|BizComponents|XML Mapping examples). In addition, the mappings under elements with and without xa:map now follow the correct usage of the xa-results:: axis and ensure that the name of the element identified in the xa:map_match (or the root element of the source if there is no xa:map) is not included. This resulted in incorrect mappings, which had to be manually edited by the user.
* The JMS BizComponent wizard was updated to repair some defects (1911154) with clicking Next and switching between selected BizDrivers.
* Namespaces now appear in the tree views in the Designer.
* The use of triple-click or a slow double click to edit element and attribute values is improved with the addition of a single click with a press of F2. You can now edit node values using this method as well.
* Currently, we have 78 open and 215 closed closed defects.

If there is anybody who is a champion for data abstraction when it comes to SOA, it's me. Moreover, if there is anybody who is a champion for open source SOA technology, it's me. So, how about if there was a company who provided both?

That's the concept behind XAware's new open source offering, which follows a few other SOA open source players, including open source ESBs and application servers. XAware, who has provided a data management and data abstraction technology for years, has recently moved into the open source world with their XAware 5 offering. What's cool about this product is that it lowers the cost of entry into the world of data abstraction for SOA, and puts the end user in direct control. XAware is looking to build a community around this product, as well as a support infrastructure, which is critical to any open source play.... read more
