Active Endpoints Announces Support for WS-BPEL 2.0 with New ActiveBPEL 3.0

August 25, 2010 by BPELforum

 

Shelton, CT

Active Endpoints, Inc. (www.active-endpoints.com), the leading provider of SOA orchestration products and services, today announced the availability of ActiveBPEL 3.0. The ActiveBPEL product family includes open source and commercial SOA orchestration solutions that are standards-compliant and platform-neutral, forming the foundation for fast, cost-effective business and systems integration. Among other important capabilities, ActiveBPEL 3.0 comprehensively supports the forthcoming WS-BPEL 2.0 standard, which will be officially published early in 2007.

 

ActiveBPEL 3.0 allows SOA application developers and ISVs to leverage the power of the BPEL 2.0 standard while preserving prior investments in BPEL 1.1 processes. ActiveBPEL 3.0′s pluggable architecture complements all SOA IT infrastructures and offers an independent, best-in-class solution for building, testing, deploying and managing BPEL-based applications.

 

“We are very pleased to see commercial support for the forthcoming WSBPEL 2.0 standard in the new versions of ActiveBPEL Designer and ActiveBPEL Enterprise,” said Derek Mathieson, Principal Architect, Workflow and e-Business Applications, CERN. “By allowing us to automatically migrate BPEL 1.1 processes to 2.0 using ActiveBPEL Designer, and by supporting seamless side-by-side execution of BPEL 1.1 and 2.0 processes in ActiveBPEL Enterprise, Active Endpoints is providing CERN all the flexibility we need to transition to the 2.0 standard on our own terms.”

 

Enterprise developers and systems integrators use ActiveBPEL to significantly reduce the time and complexity of implementing SOA applications, from proof of concept to deployment. A large and growing group of businesses now use ActiveBPEL in demanding environments across financial services, government, telecommunications, and other industries. ActiveBPEL is also the embedded, best-in-class BPEL solution for many leading software providers who look to Active Endpoints for competitive advantages when including BPEL in their own products.

 

In response to input from hundreds of customers and partners, ActiveBPEL 3.0 offers new capabilities including:

 

Support for all WS-BPEL 2.0 process constructs and semantics

Automatic migration of BPEL4WS 1.1 processes to the new WS-BPEL 2.0 standard, preserving users’ investments in existing 1.1 processes

Seamless, side-by-side execution of BPEL4WS 1.1 and WS-BPEL 2.0 processes, allowing phased migration to WS-BPEL 2.0

Enhanced message routing based on WS-Addressing to streamline and improve the execution of long running processes

Policy-driven message exchanges based on WS-ReliableMessaging

BPEL Sub-process execution, allowing process components to be executed within the lifecycle of their invoking processes

“The forthcoming WS-BPEL 2.0 standard represents a critical inflection point for SOA,” said Fred Holahan, Active Endpoints’ chairman and co-founder. “For the first time, organizations have a broadly adopted foundation upon which to create composite, process-driven SOA applications. In addition to comprehensively supporting the WS-BPEL 2.0 standard, ActiveBPEL 3.0 delivers the advanced capabilities our customers and partners need to power their enterprise-class SOA applications.”

 

The ActiveBPEL 3.0 product suite includes the following:

 

ActiveBPEL Engine: a commercial-grade, open source runtime environment for executing BPEL processes. The ActiveBPEL engine is the most widely used BPEL technology available today, delivering commercial-grade BPEL capabilities to the open source community.

ActiveBPEL Designer: a high-powered, Eclipse Ready™ design environment that allows information analysts to visually create and test BPEL process flows. The ActiveBPEL Designer includes many advanced features, speeding developers through the tasks of building sophisticated composite applications.

ActiveBPEL Enterprise servers: enterprise-class BPEL servers that satisfy a multitude of BPEL deployment requirements – from mobile and desktop applications to advanced departmental and enterprise-wide production environments, including:

o ActiveBPEL Enterprise for Apache Tomcat

o ActiveBPEL Enterprise for JBoss® Application Server

 

o ActiveBPEL Enterprise for IBM® WebSphere® Application Server

 

o ActiveBPEL Enterprise for BEA WebLogic® Server

 

o ActiveBPEL Enterprise for the Microsoft® .NET Framework (available in January 2007)

 

ActiveBPEL Designer allows users to create and test BPEL processes, and then deploy those processes to ActiveBPEL Enterprise servers that scale from desktop to data center and meet the most rigorous performance demands.

 

Active Endpoints also offers BPEL Fundamentals training updated to reflect the WS-BPEL 2.0 standard. Access to extensive online and self-help BPEL and SOA-related resources is available at Active Endpoints’ web site www.active-endpoints.com.

3COM Corp EFW STARTER POLICY SERVER V2.0

May 8, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description

  • Marketing Information:

    The 3Com Embedded Firewall Starter Policy Server is a 10-client version of embedded firewall management software. It supports the same feature set as the full version and likewise is required for configuring and managing 3Com Firewall PCI and PC Cards. This cost-saving offering lets your IT staff test-run embedded firewalls on a smaller scale. It”s also convenient for securing smaller networks.

    Together, the policy server and firewall cards extend centrally managed, hardware-enforced security to notebooks, desktops, and servers across the organization-inside and outside the network perimeter. This unique firewall solution combines management software and distributed hardware to deliver superior tamper-resistance that software-only firewalls can”t match.

    • Product Information

  • Software Sub Type: Firewall
  • Software Name: Embedded Firewall Starter Policy Server v.2.0 – Complete Product
  • Features & Benefits:
  • Facilitates assigning security by group role or function and accelerates response to detected network attacks; centrally configured and deployed security policies can be pushed to users and hosts independent of routers or traffic streams
  • Configures global policies that automate packet filtering and auditing chores, enforce no sniffing/no spoofing, block unnecessary ports, and deny “ping” requests
  • Provides superior resistance to malicious code, user modifications, and unauthorized access; firewall cards only accept instructions from authenticated policy servers
  • Secures open Internet connections, such as VPN endpoints and broadband access gateways, located inside or outside the perimeter firewall
  • Protects users with multiple levels of protection wherever they work-more relaxed for internal LAN connections and more restricted for shared and Internet-accessible systems
  • Hardens web and e-commerce servers, DMZ subnets, and cus

    SOA Patterns with BizTalk Server 2009

    April 28, 2010 by BPELforum

    Product Description

    Implement SOA strategies for BizTalk Server solutions

    • Discusses core principles of SOA and shows them applied to BizTalk solutions
    • The most thorough examination of BizTalk and WCF integration in any available book
    • Leading insight into the new WCF SQL Server Adapter, UDDI Services version 3, and ESB Guidance 2.0
    • Loaded with examples, demo code, and screenshots, which explain how to design schemas, build WSDL-first endpoints, build loosely coupled orchestrations and, much more

    In Detail

    SOA is about architecture, not products and SOA enables you to create better business processes faster than ever. While BizTalk Server 2009 is a powerful tool, by itself it cannot deliver long-lasting, agile solutions unless we actively apply tried and tested service-oriented principles.

    The current BizTalk Server books are all for the 2006 version and none of them specifically looks at how to map service-oriented principles and patterns to the BizTalk product. That’s where this book fits in. In this book, we specifically investigate how to design and build service-oriented solutions using BizTalk Server 2009 as the host platform.

    This book extends your existing BizTalk knowledge to apply service-oriented thinking to classic BizTalk scenarios. We look at how to build the most reusable, flexible, and loosely-coupled solutions possible in the BizTalk environment. Along the way, we dive deeply into BizTalk Server’s integration with Windows Communication Foundation, and see how to take advantage of the latest updates to the Microsoft platform. Chock full of dozens of demonstrations, this book walks through design considerations, development options, and strategies for maintaining production solutions.

    What you will learn from this book?

    • Understand how the core aspects of SOA apply to specific BizTalk components
    • Consume and expose WCF services from BizTalk solutions
    • Build schemas that enable efficient data sharing
    • Exploit asynchronous programming models and implement client callbacks
    • Chain orchestrations together in a loosely coupled way
    • See one solution for complex event processing in a BizTalk environment
    • Efficiently version BizTalk artifacts
    • Get to know Microsoft UDDI v3 services and how to add and reference services in this registry
    • Enhance BizTalk solutions with the Microsoft ESB Guidance package
    • Utilize the WCF SQL Server Adapter as both a client and a service

    Approach

    This book takes a hands-on approach to explain and present ways to use BizTalk Server 2009 in a service-oriented fashion. Written much like the author’s blog, this book does not direct your every mouse click and keyboard stroke, but rather identifies the problem being solved, and includes the code snippets and screenshots necessary to recreate these solutions yourself.

    Who this book is written for?

    Targeted at individuals already familiar with BizTalk Server and not those expecting a full tutorial on every aspect of the product, this book is ideal for architects and developers who want to develop the most maintainable BizTalk Server solutions possible. This is the first book available on BizTalk Server 2009 and covers all relevant features for those of you designing a BizTalk business solution.
