WSO2 Web Services Framework for Ruby (WSF/Ruby) 1.1.0 Released

dimuthu — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:06:00 +0000

WSO2 WSF/Ruby is back in a release, after more than 6 months. We released the WSF/Ruby 1.0.0 in this January (with the start of the year work) with a number of features that someone may expect in a WS-* stack. For Ruby space there were no such thing support that many number of WS-* specs, specially implementation for WS-Security, WS-SecurityPoilcy, MTOM were really new for ruby developers.

For this release (1.1.0), we mainly worked for improving the usability aspects of the WSF/Ruby. The result is the WSDL mode for both client and the server, and more importantly with this you can specify WS-Addressing and WS-SecurityPolicy assertions through a WSDL.

Here is the complete release note. Hope you ruby people try this out, enjoy and more importantly give us some valuable feedback..
