Today WSO2, an open source SOA and cloud services company, launched new versions of several SOA components, including the Business Process Server, Data Services Server, Business Activity Monitor, Gadget Server, and Mashup Server. The components all run on the WSO2 Carbon 3.0 platform, which is a fully modular middleware platform. Today's releases all have the functionality of the Carbon 3.0 platform, which was released in May. All of WSO2's software is free under the Apache Software License.
The BPS helps developers orchestrate business processes with WS-BPEL, and now version 2.0 adds support for the BPEL4People and WS-HumanTask specifications, which are currently under review by OASIS. BPEL4People extends BPEL for the orchestration of role-based human activities in addition to the existing support for web services. WS-HumanTask defines human tasks, their properties, behavior, and options. Other features include:
