Apache Stonehenge is a community-driven solution to the challenges of web services interoperability. There is now strong support for the WS-* standards in several open-source and proprietary web services stacks. However, it sometimes requires fiddling with the bits or playing around with config files to achieve interop for specific scenarios. The goal of Stonehenge is make web services interoperability easier, by serving as a forum for resolving interop questions and by sharing the solutions as documents and samples. Stonehenge started with a sample application contributed by WSO2 and Microsoft. It has grown to add implementations on three more web services stacks (including Sun Metro). And the future direction promises to attract even more web services vendors and users. This talk is directed at those who are interested in building distributed cross-vendor solutions. The presenters will review Stonehenge goals and activities to date, and announce the latest vendors to participate in Stonehenge. We will also demo the latest version of the StockTrader sample application, using Claims-based security (WS-Federation), and discuss the future direction of Stonehenge as a forum for interoperability testing.
