A Brief Overview of XAware, an Open Source Data Integration Tool

Data integration is the process of combining data residing at different sources and providing the user. XAware, Inc. is a worldwide leader in XML information exchange supporting both J2EE and Microsoft .Net technologies. Leveraging industry expertise and practical experience in the financial services and government sectors, XAware’s lightweight embeddable data integration components dramatically reduce time to market, while increasing interoperability for application vendors.

It provides real-time data integration with a service-oriented flavor. XAware makes other tools and frameworks more productive by hiding data access complexity behind “XML views”. XML views span any number of data sources, and can read data, write data, or transfer data between sets of sources, all within a distributed transaction.

XAware includes a design environment and a run-time engine. The XAware Designer is an Eclipse plug-in design tool for creating, testing, and deploying standards-compliant web services and data integration applications. The XAware Engine is capable of running and managing concurrent web services, where each service may be invoked through different Connectors and data accessed and transformed through multiple Adapters. It is multi-threaded, scalable, clusterable, optimized for XML processing, highly reliable and offers high volume transaction processing capabilities.

Key Features:

  • Eclipse-based Designer: build, test and debug XML views
  • Engine runs in a standard container (Servlet, J2EE), as an embedded integration engine, or as a standalone batch processor
  • Access XML views through common technologies like SOAP, REST, HTTP, messaging, or a Java API
  • Simplify data access for SOA and Web 2.0 applications and real-time BI using “composite data services” or “mash-ups”
  • Improve productivity of Enterprise Service Bus (ESBs) like MuleSource, BPEL engines like ActiveBPEL, application server stacks, and embedded applications, by isolating data access to its proper architectural layer
  • Supports database transactions, messaging systems, web services, structured and unstructured text, transformations, cross-system joins, and conditional logic
