WSO2 broadens governance capabilities

By David Worthington

July 22, 2009 — Open-source SOA infrastructure software maker WSO2's registry has gained new governance capabilities for managing the life cycles of services.

WSO2 Governance Registry 3.0, formerly known as WSO2 Registry, was released today. The new version offers out-of-the-box checklists for managing service life cycles, said Paul Fremantle, WSO2's co-founder and CTO.

The company identified common approaches that its customers were taking to build governance solutions, and it created a custom XML template that can be used to describe services (whether a WSDL is available or not) and which phase of the software development life cycle services are in, he explained. Those service description documents are stored in the registry and are searchable.

"Governance needs to be customized to each company," said Fremantle. "We are making sure people do the right thing, have the right processes in place and the right policies. Governance is people, policies and processes."

Other features new to this release include service discovery, impact analysis, versioning, and automatic metadata extraction.

Governance Registry also uses business rules to send e-mail notifications to managers for tracking service changes. Previously, changes could only be tracked via ATOM or RSS feeds. A dashboard monitors services at runtime and design time using widgets that adhere to the Google Gadget guidelines.

Lastly, WSO2 has added the ability to manage remote registries within an organization. Organizations may not have initially agreed on policies and approaches, but they needed a registry to make their projects run, Fremantle explained. By federating, enterprises can consolidate project infrastructure with a more centralized approach and manage departmental registries in coordinated and synchronized ways, he said.
