Project Tango

BANGALORE, INDIA: Project Tango (also known as WSIT for Web Services Interoperability Technology), an integrated part of GlassFish V2, is an open source implementation of the key enterprise Web services technologies, commonly known as WS-*. The technologies are divided into three main areas: Security, Reliability, and Transactions.

One of the main goals of Project Tango is to provide interoperability with Windows Communication Foundation,
the Web services stack bundled with the .NET 3.0 platform.

In Security, WS-Security 1.0 and 1.1 provide a basic framework for SOAP message level security in Web services. WS-Trust defines a framework for issuing, renewing, and validating security tokens, and to broker trust relationships within different trust domains. WS-Secure Conversation increases the overall performance and security by defining semantics for secure message exchange for multiple message exchanges. WS-Security Policy enables Web service endpoints to specify their security requirements to potential clients in an interoperable manner.
