SYSTINET WASP IS REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION FOR PROPOSED RECOMMENDATION OF
W3C SOAP 1.2 SPECIFICATION

 

CAMBRIDGE, MASS., May 13, 2003 — Systinet, the leading independent
provider of Web services infrastructure software, today announced
support for the latest World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) SOAP 1.2
Specification, which has advanced to Proposed Recommendation status.
Systinet WASP for Java, 4.5 is a reference implementation for the
standard, and was used to provide valuable evidence of interoperable
implementations of SOAP 1.2 to advance the specification along W3C's
Recommendation track. 

"SOAP 1.2 is a significant achievement and is now close to completion,"
said Roman Stanek, founder and CEO of Systinet.  "Systinet is pleased to
work in organizations like W3C, and to develop early implementations in
our products and technology of what will be industry's most pervasive
Web services standards."

SOAP 1.2 is a lightweight protocol intended for exchanging structured
information in a decentralized, distributed environment, and is one of
the key standards that underpin Web services technology.  The latest
SOAP 1.2 specification has a clearer framework for extensibility, which
will make interoperability between different implementations much
easier. SOAP 1.2 also defines a formal binding framework and XML
Infoset, both of which allow SOAP to be used across many different
applications and environments. W3C officially announced its proposed
recommendation for the SOAP 1.2 specification today.  SOAP 1.2 has been
sent to the W3C Membership for final review.

Systinet has been on the forefront of Web services standards development
and is a founding member and active promoter of key standards efforts
for SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, Web services security, Web services
interoperability and other cooperative efforts at W3C, UDDI.org/Advisory
Group, OASIS, WS-I and WS-S.  
 
Systinet's WASP suite of products is a complete solution for building,
deploying, securing and managing Web services. Systinet WASP Server for
Java and WASP Server for C++ are industrial-strength Web services
runtime environments that fully support industry standards, including
SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2 and WSDL 1.1. WASP UDDI is a V2 complaint registry
with advanced V3 functionality. Systinet's OEM Edition is a Web services
solution tailored to fit the needs of ISVs.   

Systinet's WASP Server for Java 4.5, which became available in 2003, was
the recipient of eWEEK Labs Analyst's Choice Award.  This is the second
time, in as many attempts, that a Systinet Web services product has
received this distinguished award.  The eWEEK reviewer described the
product as "the most comprehensive set of tools for developing, securing
and managing Web services" in the March 31, 2003 issue.
