Benvenuto in Toscana!

Welcome to

the

Apache Tuscany

project! 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:

Apache Tuscany simplifies the task of developing SOA solutions by providing a comprehensive infrastructure for SOA development and management that is based on 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.
  • If you enjoy the challenges of developing server infrastructure and have a passion for open source, or if you just think writing server-side applications should be easier, Apache Tuscany wants you! Please join us in creating a simpler solution to the problems posed by large-scale applications and service networks.

    ...

    standard. With SCA as it's foundation, Tuscany offers solution developers the following advantages:

    • Provides a model for creating composite applications by defining the services in the fabric and their relationships with one another. The services can be implemented in any technology.
    • Enables service developers to create reusable services that only contain business logic. Protocols are pushed out of business logic and are handled through pluggable bindings. This lowers development cost.
    • Applications can easily adapt to infrastructure changes without recoding since protocols are handled via pluggable bindings and quality of services (transaction, security) are handled declaratively.
    • Existing applications can work with new SCA compositions. This allows for incremental growth towards a more flexible architecture, outsourcing or providing services to others.
