BEA Standards Helps Make Service-Oriented Architecture A Reality

BEA Systems is committed to creating standards and technologies that are designed to help developers create service oriented architectures (SOA) today. BEA combines industry standards with its industry-leading, unified, standards-based infrastructure and a simplified framework designed to help customers build SOAs to create a shared-services environment. BEA, always a driver of innovation, has created and co-authored standards and technologies designed to help reduce computing costs and complexity while helping to increase developer productivity.

Recent milestones which demonstrate the BEA commitment to the standards and open source communities include:

  • WS-Addressing -- Working in conjunction with IBM Corp, Microsoft Corp, SAP AG and Sun Microsystems Inc, BEA published WS-Addressing, a new Web services specification designed to help enable organizations to build reliable and interoperable Web services applications by defining a standard mechanism for identifying and exchanging Web services messages between multiple end points. The specification is available at: http://dev2dev.bea.com/technologies/webservices/standards.jsp.
  • Availability of Apache Beehive code -- Apache Beehive is the industry's first easy-to-use, cross-container, open-source application framework for more easily and quickly building service-oriented architectures and enterprise Java applications. Apache Beehive is now available at: http://incubator.apache.org/beehive/.
  • Acceptance of Apache XMLBeans -- The incubation project for XMLBeans, contributed by BEA as an open-source project designed to help simplify Java and XML development, has received approval as an official project of the Apache Software Foundation. Apache XML Beans is available at: http://xmlbeans.apache.org/.
  • WS-Eventing -- This specification provides a way of communicating events generated within Web services. Originally authored by BEA, Microsoft and TIBCO, the specification is being updated with changes and improvements from the workshop process with two new co-authors, CA and IBM. The specification is available at: http://dev2dev.bea.com/technologies/webservices/standards.jsp.
