Apache Tuscany provides an infrastructure for building, deploying, running and managing SOA solutions developed with Service Component Architecture (SCA). Apache Tuscany supports the SCA specification provided specifications being standardized by OASIS open Open CSA (http://www.oasis-opencsa.org) and provides additional support for OSGI, scripting languages and Web2.0. Tuscany supports many different binding protocols , and programming technologies and works with a variety of container models. It has a modular architecture that makes it easy to integrate with other technologies and is integrated with many Apache projects. Tuscany has a lightweight runtime that can be embedded or run used stand-alone. Tuscany runs on Tomcat, Jetty, Geronimo and other application servers.

The Tuscany project has released produced a number of milestones releases since its inception in 2005 and is receiving positive feedback based on production-level usage. This release is the first release out of since Tuscany graduated from incubation and includes additional capabilities beyond what was available beforea number of new features and capabilities. Apache Tuscany can be downloaded from the Apache Tuscany website at http://tuscany.apache.org.

Service Component Architecture The SCA programming model that supported by Tuscany supports provides a level of abstraction that separates the concerns of developing business solutions from the infrastructure and technology details and therefore eliminates application brittleness in SOA. This lowers development costs and improves flexibility and agility and lowers the development cost. SCA works with different languages and container models , making it easier for SOA solutions to evolve in response to new business requirements. SCA can be used with a wide variety of existing middleware technologies and therefore enables IT to leverage existing assets.
