WSO2 officially launched on Monday with offices in Sri Lanka and Boston. It announced partnerships with Covalent and start-up SourceLabs.
The newly formed company, funded by Covalent and angel investors, intends to offer support services to corporate customers that use the Apache Axis tools, which are available for free under the Apache Foundation's open-source license.
Axis is often used in combination with the open-source Tomcat application server to build and run applications that conform to Web services protocols. In the commercial world, this Web services tooling is included in Java application servers from vendors such as IBM, BEA Systems and Oracle.
