Newest WSO2 Web Services Framework for C++ Brings Enterprise-Class SOA Capabilities to Widely Adopted Language

WSO2 WSF/C++ Combines Industry`s Most Extensive WS-* Support with Proven
Performance and Active Open Source Community Backing
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
WSO2, the open source SOA company, today announced the newest release of the
WSO2 Web Services Framework for C++ (WSO2 WSF/C++). The software brings simple,
effective, high-performance service-oriented architecture (SOA) capabilities to
C++, which is one of the most popular languages used for developing
high-performance business applications.

The WSO2 WSF/C++ open source framework offers unmatched functionality for
providing and consuming Web services in C++. Using WSO2 WSF/C++, developers can
integrate their C++ applications and enterprise SOA infrastructure with full
security and reliable messaging.

WSO2WSF/C++ Delivers Proven Performance

WSO2 WSF/C++ is the only 100% open source C++ library for providing and
consuming Web services. It is an extension to the WSO2 Web Services Framework
for C (WSO2 WSF/C), which is based on Apache Axis2/C, Apache Sandesha2/C, and
Apache Rampart/C. As a result, WSO2 WSF/C++ offers developers the proven
benefits of interoperability through open standards. Released under the Apache
License 2.0, WSO2 WSF/C++ does not carry any software licensing fees or
restrictions. Additionally, WSO2 WSF/C++ is designed to be embeddable, allowing
it to be tightly integrated with existing applications, implemented in C/C++, or
built into devices.

The newest WSO2 WSF/C++ version adds the Codegen Plug-in Wizard for Eclipse. A
comprehensive GUI interface to the command line tool, the Eclipse plug-in helps
developers to easily generate C++ client and service code automatically from
existing industry-standard WSDL files. Developers also can specify many
different configuration options to the code generator.

Other core features of WSO2 WSF/C++ are:

* Comprehensive support for the WS-* stack for seamless integration and proven
interoperability includes the SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism
(MTOM), SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, WS-Addressing, WS-Security, WS-Secure Conversation,
WS-Policy, WS-SecurityPolicy, WS-Reliable Messaging, and WS-Eventing.
* Secure Web services are enabled by advanced WS-* security features, such as
encryption and signing of SOAP messages. Users also can send messages with
UsernameToken and TimeStamp support.
* Reliable messaging for Web services and clients means basic SOAP messages, as
well as messages with attachments can be sent in a reliable way.
* Ability to run on all major platforms: WSO2 WSF/C++ has been tested on Windows
XP/Windows Vista with Microsoft Visual C++ versions 8.0 and 9.0, Linux - gcc/g++
4.3.2, Sun Solaris 10 x86 - gcc/g++ 3.4.3, and MacOS 10.4.10 - gcc/g++ 4.0.1.

"The flexibility and performance of C++ have made it one of the most widely used
languages for business applications, yet industry support for implementing C++
in SOAs has been limited," said Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, founder and CEO of
WSO2. "With WSO2 WSF/C++, developers now have the comprehensive framework they
need - based on proven open source standards - to seamlessly add
enterprise-class C++ Web services to their heterogeneous SOAs."
