The Apache Tuscany project is currently in incubation within the + Apache Incubator. + </p> + <p> + The Apache Tuscany project simplifies the development of business solutions that use a service-oriented +architecture. It allows new solutions to be constructed by combining new or existing services within an +easy to configure service oriented run time with little or no programming. It does this by providing +implementations for the Service Component Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Object (SDO) +and providing Data Access Service that supports SDO. Tuscany integrates with well +established Web Services and server technologies such as Apache Axis2, Apache Tomcat and Geronimo. +Specifications for SDO and SCA can be found on the <a href="documentation.html">Documentation page</a> + </p> + <p> + SCA provides developers with a simple, business-oriented, model for creating systems based on a service + oriented architecture. It manages infrastructure complexities such as transactions, security and reliable + messaging and frees the developer to focus on providing business function. The solutions developed using + SCA can be changed declaratively to alter infrastructure capabilities or application configuration properties + to meet changing business requirements. For example, infrastructure capabilities such as security policies + may change from one environment to another and can be changed without the need for re-implementation. + Application configuration may also be changed in this way, for example, the currency quoted by a stock + quote feed may be changed though the SCA configuration mechanism. + </p> + <p> + SCA divides up the steps in building a service-oriented application into two major parts: + <ul> + <li> + The Implementation of components which provide services and consume other services. SCA + supports service implementations written using any one of many programming languages, both including + conventional object-oriented and procedural languages such as Java<sup>tm</sup>, PHP, C ++. XML-centric languages + such as BPEL and XSLT, and also declarative languages such as SQL and XQuery. SCA also supports a + range of programming styles, including asynchronous and message-oriented styles, in addition to the + synchronous call-and-return style. +</li> +<li> +The Assembly of sets of components to build composite business applications that addresses specific business requirements. This is performed by wiring together the service implementation components. +</li> +</ul> + For more information about SCA read the white paper Service Component Architecture-Building Systems using a Service Oriented Architecure on the <a href="documentation.html">Documentation page</a>. +The Tuscany project provides runtime implementation of SCA in both Java and C++. + </p> + <p> + SDO enables developers to focus on data processing rather than the specific nature of data retrieval mechanisms as data arrives at and is dispatch from a service. + SDO provides a consistent mechanism for describing and manipulating data regardless of data resource target or source types and the environment in which the data is to be processed. + It maintains a change history for data as well as ensuring referential integrity based on a defined schema. + To further understand the benefits of SDO please refer to the "Next Generation Data Programming: Service + Data Objects"on the <a href="documentation.html">Documentation page</a>. + Tuscany implements SDO in Java and C++. A PHP implementation of SDO is also available under <script type="text/javascript">linkNewWindow('http://pecl.php.net/package/sdo','PECL' );</script>. + </p> + <p> +RDB DAS provides a generic data access service that provides transformation capability between SDO data graphs and relational databases and vise versa. +To further explore the benefits of DAS please refer to white paper "DAS White Paper: The Data Access Service" on the <a href="documentation.html">Documentation page</a>. + </p> +<p> +You can get a feel for what it's like to create simple applications using Tuscany by trying out the sample programs that are supplied with the Tuscany project. +For Java look at the <a href="installjava.html" >Installation instructions for Java Projects</a> page and then follow the Samples README. +For C++ go to the <a href="installcpp.html" >Installation Instructions for C++ Projects</a> page. + </p> + <p> +The specifications for SDO and SCA can be found on the <a href="documentation.html">Documentation page</a>:<br/> +<ul> +<li> +The SCA 0.9 Assembly Model specification +</li> +<li> +The SCA 0.9 Client and Implementation Model specifications - for Java and for C++ +</li> +<li> +The SDO 2.01 specifications - for Java and for C++ +</li> +</ul> + </p> + <p> <B> Tuscany is very interested in getting your comments or any feedback that you may have. </B> Please feel free + to post these on the mailing lists.

For the Java project, the codebase now integrates with Apache Tomcat 5.5.15 and Axis 2.0. + There is a substantial set of working samples for the SCA, SDO and DAS subprojects, which can run on + Windows, Linux and Mac.
