WSO2 Data Services - 1.0 beta released

After several weeks hard work we finally released WSO2 Data Services - 1.0 beta last week. It can be downloaded from here.

Difference: WSO2 WSAS Data Services Vs WSO2 Data Services

Earlier we shipped Data Services functionality on top of our Web Service Application Server (WSAS). It first appeared on WSAS 2.0 release. But we decided to a ship Data Service capabilities as a separate product. WSO2 Data Services v1.0beta is the first public release of this new breed.

What's new?

Apart from support for multiple data sources & REST there aren't any major feature additions in this release. But major changes have come in the form of componentization. Our core web service runtime & UI framework is now layered on top of Equinox OSGI implementation. We have invested considerable amount of effort to put together a stable Axis2 web service hosting environment on top of OSGI & hoping to capitalize our future features on top of this.

What next?

We are working on releasing another beta somewhere next week. So stay tuned.
