WSO2 this week announced availability of Version 1.7 of the open-source WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus for high-volume SOA.
Featured are advanced clustering capabilities enabling updates of a cluster in a continuously live environment.
"The growth of SOA implementations to drive critical business operations is placing new demands on the performance, reliability and governance of Web services," said Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, CEO of WSO2, in a statement released by the company. "Our WSO2 ESB 1.7 sets a new standard for meeting those demands through innovative concurrency and clustering." The product is being coupled with the company's registry, which also is being updated this week.
Version 1.7, which is based on the Apache Synapse 1.3 ESB, has been tested to handle loads of as much as 2,500 concurrent connections without losing a message. Tests were done on a dual-processor server.
Also featured in version 1.7 is support for two financial services sector protocols, the Financial Information Exchange protocol for trade-related messages, and Advanced Message Queuing Protocol for business messaging.
A graphical management and configuration console is included in the ESB. Other features include connectivity to Electronic Data Interchange, comma-separated values, and record formats. Hessian binary Web services protocol support enables high-performance binary Web services routing and management, WSO2 said.
Connection pooling in the product improves database performance while a router mediator capability enables dynamic routing.
With version 1.1 of WSO2 Registry, also shipping this week, WSO2 is adding SOA lifecycle management, with users able to define custom lifecycles with conditional state transitions. Other new features include the ability to encode governance rules and policies and validation of services to ensure they match interoperability standards.
The open-source registry has been integrated into WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus 1.7.
Also highlighted is transactional API support for reliable processing; dependency views, to track reliance graphs between resources and analyze change impacts; WSDL validation and enhanced search. An enhanced API allows the registry to be embedded in runtime systems and support automated governance.
WSO2 offers service and support options for the ESB and registry.

Server virtualization is a popular option for dealing with mounting datacenter costs. Another equally promising approach is the use of an Application Delivery Controller. Citrix NetScaler provides a low-cost way for organizations to reduce their server count and accrue cost savings from a reduction in space, cooling, power and personnel.
