Custom SOA Governance Focus of New Layer 7 SDK


By David Worthington
June 15, 2007 — 
Layer 7 Technologies has extended its Solaris-based SOA appliance and software gateway with the SecureSpan Custom Policy Assertion SDK, which permits customers and partners to create custom extensions for SOA governance and systems integration.

The SDK, released in late May, is Java-based and can dynamically load code modules into running systems. Customers’ policies and its prebuilt assertions are managed through the SecureSpan administration console.

For security purposes, customer-derived code runs in a sandbox. User code is isolated, and a crash cannot affect regular operation, said Scott Morrison, Layer 7’s vice president of engineering and chief architect.

“We feel that this [SDK] will allow you to close the gaps in the governance story. It gives a true robust platform for managing SOA-based transactions in an enterprise,” said Morrison.

Morrison claimed that it makes “tremendous sense” for Layer 7 to choose Solaris as its platform for embedded network devices, citing the Sun Microsystems operating system’s balance between performance and “absolute security.” He noted, “We take the base OS and go through to ensure that it is locked down, to the point where only the absolute minimum services that need to operate the platform are running.” The company announced its partnership with Sun Microsystems during this year’s JavaOne Conference.

“Governing service interactions is essential for effective security, reliability and availability in SOA,” explained Ronald Schmelzer, senior analyst at ZapThink. “End users require tools and technologies…to better tailor their governance policies to reflect changing business priorities and SOA growth.”
