What is the relationship between the new WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus and the Apache Synapse project you are also working on?
Paul Fremantle: The core runtime engine is Apache Synapse and if we have enhancement to that the code always goes back to Apache Synapse. We're not trying to keep back any kind of core code, but fundamentally the core runtime is based on the Apache project.
What is the WS02 value add then?
Fremantle: We're offering support for the ESB whether it's commercial high quality training, support, services. Then we have a graphical user interface. It's a completely Web-based user interface that allows you to configure, monitor and manage the underlying Synapse.
Is that an Ajax-based Web interface?
Fremantle: It is an Ajax-based Web interface. One of the things it does is expose all of the management APIs as services as well. So you can call them from other interfaces.
