Apache Synapse is a mediation framework for Web Services that allows messages flowing through, into, or out of an organization to be mediated. The Synapse team has just released 0.91 of the project, which can be downloaded from the Apache web site. Apache Synapse is intended to be the basis of a highly manageable XML-oriented Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and supports logging, routing, and transforming all kinds of XML messages including XML/HTTP, SOAP, JMS. Also supported are a number of open standards including XSLT, XPath, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, WS-Policy and WS-Addressing.
