DataDirect Technologies extends support For
SOA.
DataDirect Technologies has outlined its plans to support the
rapidly emerging Service Data Objects (SDO) standard within its family
of data connectivity and mainframe integration products. The SDO
standard, developed by a diverse group of leading technology vendors
participating in the OASIS SDO working group is designed to simplify and
unify the way applications use data within a Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA).
Concurrently, Progress Software announced its recent acquisition of
Xcalia. Xcalia is now part of the DataDirect Technologies operating
company.
Xcalia is a member of several international standards committees
including JSR 317 (JPA2) and JSR 235 (SDO 3 for Java^TM) within the Java
Community Process (JCP). The company is also an active member of the
OASIS and Open SOA consortiums contributing to the Service Data Objects
(SDO 1, 2 and 3) and Data Access Service (DAS) specifications.
Additionally, Xcalia spearheaded JDO and worked on EJB 3 standards.
