WSO2, the open source SOA company, announced the debut of the WSO2 Web Services Framework for Ruby (WSF/Ruby) 1.0 -- the open source framework for providing and consuming Web services in the Ruby object-oriented
programming language.
WSF/Ruby 1.0 is the first Ruby extension to offer extensive support for the Web services (WS-*) stack. For the first time, developers can bring to Ruby the security and reliable messaging that are required for trusted, enterprise-class SOAP-based Web services.
WSF/Ruby 1.0 enables developers to consume Web services with either the WS-* stack or HTTP. It is a binding of the Web Services Framework for C (WSF/C) into Ruby, providing a fully open source Ruby extension based on Apache Axis2/C, Apache Sandesha2/C, and Apache Rampart/C.
Additionally, WSF/Ruby uses the Ruby on Rails (RoR) open source Web development framework as its deployment model for providing services, allowing developers to combine the programming ease of RoR with the enterprise-class functionality to support a service-oriented architecture (SOA).
