Systinet Announces WASP Server For
C++, 4.6
Systinet, a leading independent provider of Web services infrastructure
software, has announced the general release of WASP Server for C++, 4.6, a Web
services infrastructure platform that provides a complete solution for
building and deploying Web services in C/C++ applications. WASP Server for
C++, 4.6 is the only Web services solution for C/C++ that fully supports the
latest SOAP 1.2 specification and asynchronous Web services. WASP Server for
C++ offers the industry's best performance and security and has been optimized
to interoperate seamlessly with Microsoft .NET and Java-based Web services
solutions. WASP Server for C++ is available immediately for free development
and test and for single CPU deployments on Systinet's Web site,
www.systinet.com; beyond this
pricing begins at $2,000 per
CPU, with
flexible pricing options for ISVs and large-scale deployments.
"WASP Server for C++, 4.6 makes it easier than ever for companies to create
secure Web services applications that have proven interoperability with other
implementations," said Charlie Ungashick, senior director of product
marketing. "Systinet offers a Web services solution for both C/C++ and Java,
making it is a very attractive offering for companies who need to Web
services-enable enterprise applications built on a variety of platforms."
New and enhanced functionality in the 4.6 release include:
- Unique support for SOAP 1.2: WASP Server for C++, 4.6 fully supports the
latest SOAP 1.2 specification. The new specification has a clearer framework
for extensibility, which makes interoperability between different Web services
implementations much easier. SOAP 1.2 also defines a formal binding framework
and XML infoset, which makes it easier to operate SOAP across different
applications and environments.
- Unique asynchronous Web services support: WASP Server for C++, 4.6 offers
full support for client and server-side asynchronous Web services. WASP makes
it especially easy to use asynchronous Web services via its WSDL compiler. A
flag to the compiler will cause WASP to automatically generate the appropriate
server-side skeletons and client-side stubs. This new functionality is
especially useful with long-running processes, since the server is freed to
accept other client requests.
- New security functionality: WASP Server for C++, 4.6 features a
comprehensive security framework that serves as the foundation of programmatic
customization of security functionality and future support of additional
security mechanisms.
- Unique Dynamic Invocation Interface (DII): WASP Server for C++, 4.6 is the
only Web services infrastructure to support both static and dynamic
invocation. With dynamic invocation, an application is able to invoke a
service that was not known prior to runtime: it can dynamically download the
appropriate WSDL file, parse it, then construct all the elements required to
use the service.
Systinet's WASP suite of products is a complete solution for building,
deploying, securing and managing Web services. Systinet WASP Server for Java
and WASP Server for C++ are industrial-strength Web services runtime
environments that fully support industry standards, including SOAP 1.1, SOAP
1.2 and WSDL 1.1. WASP UDDI is a full-featured UDDI registry that allows
businesses to standardize the way businesses organize, catalog, discover and
reuse Web services across the company.
