Introduction

AquaLogic Service Bus provides a unified software product for implementing and deploying your Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

AquaLogic Service Bus supports broad compliance with messaging standards including SOAP 1.1, HTTP, JMS, SMTP/POP/IMAP, FTP, SSL, XML 1.0, XML Schema, WSDL 1.1, WSRP 1.0, and WS-Security.

This section contains information about AquaLogic Service Bus interoperability. It includes the following topics:

• FTP and Email Servers
• Security Providers
• Web Service Standards
• HTTP Standards
• XPath and XQuery
• JMS
• Databases
• Platform Interoperability

AquaLogic Service Bus is certified against the following security providers:

• WebLogic Server 9.0 default authentication provider
• WebLogic Server 9.0 default authorization provider
• WebLogic Server 9.0 default credential mapper
• WebLogic Server 9.0 PKI credential mapper
• WebLogic Server 9.0 PKI credential provider

Web Service Standards

AquaLogic Service Bus is certified against the following Web Service standards:

• SOAP 1.1
• WSDL 1.1
• WS-Addressing
• WS-Security using WebLogic Server 9.0 WS client or WebLogic Server 9.0 business services.
• WSDL attached WS-Policies as supported by WebLogic Server 9.0.
• WebLogic Server 9.0 WS-Policy—identity, integrity, confidentiality and timestamp assertions.

Note: WS-ReliableMessaging assertions are not supported.

• AquaLogic Service Bus includes WS-I compliance. However, in some cases, AquaLogic Service Bus does not reject SOAP/HTTP messages that are not WS-I compliant. This enables you to build implementations with service endpoints which are not strictly WS-I compliant.

HTTP Standards

AquaLogic Service Bus is certified against the following HTTP protocols:

• HTTP 1.0
• Transport-Layer Security (TLS) Secure Sockets Layer (/SSL) protocols

Note: TLS/SSL support is the same as for WebLogic Server 9.0

AquaLogic Service Bus is certified against the following protocols:

• BEA's implementation of XQuery 1.0
• BEA's implementation of XPath 2.0

 

---

JMS

AquaLogic Service Bus is certified against the following JMS implementations:

• WebLogic Server 9.0 JMS

For information about JMS interoperability, see Interoperability with JMS.

• IBM WebSphere MQ/JMS 5.3
