SOA suite comparison - should I choose Apache? How is WSO2 related to Apache?
Hello Apache community, I'm glad to make your acquaintance.
My first question here is about a research I'm making these days: I must
choose among open-source Software Oriented Architectures, and it seems
to me the three complete platforms (they have all the pieces I need) are:
* /*Jboss SOA
Suite*/-->http://www.redhat.com/products/jbossenterprisemiddleware/soa/
* /*Apache*/(it's not a suite but you have all the fundamental pieces
- am I right?)
* /*WSO2 SOA Suite*/-->http://wso2.com/products/platforms
My conclusion on these platforms are that:
* /*JBoss*/is backed by a*big and active community*, and it is the
first I've heard of. The downside is that its*ESB cannot match
services' multiple endpoints*- in other words it matches only one
endpoint per service;
* /*Apache*/has a*great community*too, and has*Tuscany SCA (Service
Component Architecture)*[http://tuscany.apache.org/] - WSO2 and
JBoss do not have a SCA middleware (tell me if I'm wrong here);
* /*WSO2*/has a*complete suite*(it seems it has all SOA's middleware
pieces) except for the SCA. Here the downside is that*the community
is only of 350 members*- they declare that they've joined Apache
projects, and /*the question here is: can I count on your support
for WSO2 products?*/
If my research brought me to incorrect conclusion, tell me where I've
misunderstood something, and if you think it's incomplete and there are
alternative that need to be taken into account it will be much useful to
