Welcome to Apache Tuscany

The Tuscany community is working to create robust infrastructure that simplifies the development of service-based application networks.

Tuscany is based on specifications defined by the Open SOA Collaboration:

• Service Component Architecture (SCA) defines technologies for creating services and assembling them into higher-order service networks. SCA provides a language-independent way to compose and deploy service networks. SCA also defines language-specific programming models for service authoring including Java, Spring, C++ , and PHP. There are currently Tuscany SCA runtimes written in Java and C++.
• Service Data Object (SDO) provides a uniform interface for handling different forms of data, including XML documents, that can exist in a network of services and provides the mechanism for tracking changes. Apache Tuscany provides Java and C++ implementations for SDO.
• Data Access Service (DAS) provides a simple SDO interface to relational databases. Apache Tuscany provides a Java implementation for DAS.

Please join us in creating a simpler solution to the problems posed by large-scale applications and service networks.

Apache Tuscany is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
