- WSO2 Mashup Server
The WSO2 Mashup Server is an open-source project that hosts Javascript-based Mashups. The server is based upon Apache Axis2 and other open source projects, to provide
Javascript authors with the ability to consume and emit Web services, feeds, scraped web pages, email, and instant messages. The WSO2 Mashup Server source code is freely available under theApache License .The WSO2 Mashup Server has similarities to
Yahoo Pipes andMicrosoft Popfly , in that it provides a runtime platform for developing and deploying mashups. Unlike those platforms, the WSO2 Mashup Server can be downloaded and deployed locally or within an enterprise (although there is an online service based on the WSO2 Mashup Server at mooshup.com.)The WSO2 Mashup Server is Web Service-centric in that each mashup exposes a new Web Service, which can be consumed by other mashups, Web Service clients, or Ajax-style Web pages. The securability of Web Services make them an attractive technology within enterprises deploying a
Service-oriented architecture .Social Networking in the Enterprise
The WSO2 Mashup Server is intended to advance the adoption of
social networking techniques within the enterprise, by supporting multiple users and supporting features that allow mashup authors and users to self-organize into a community, including self-registration, searching, tagging, commenting, and rating, and the ability to subscribe to feeds of updates on a mashup, user, or category of interest.References
