Iopsis Unveils Web Services Assembly Product for ebXML and Business Process Orchestration; Iopsis iNsight Provides Architecture and Modeling Tools for Web Services Applications.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers JavaOne 2003 SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2003 Iopsis Software(TM), an innovator in production grade Web services development tools and infrastructure, today announced version 2.1 of its iNsight application assembly product. Iopsis iNsight(TM) is the industry's first tool that lets developers use standard UML (Unified Modeling Language) An object-oriented analysis and design language from the Object Management Group (OMG). Many design methodologies for describing object-oriented systems were developed in the late 1980s. notation to define and orchestrate Web services, and it has pioneering support for OASIS ebBPSS and BPEL4WS See WSBPEL. modeling. Working as a supplement to the Sun(TM) ONE Studio and NetBeans(TM) Integrated Development Environments from Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : SUNW SUNW Sun Microsystems, Inc (former stock symbol; now JAVA) SUNW Stanford University Network Workstation (Sun Microsystems, Inc) ), Iopsis iNsight provides modeling, code generation, choreography, and assembly of Web services for use in business processes and end-user applications. "Iopsis's iNsight 2.1 is an ideal complement to Sun ONE Studio 4 Enterprise Edition for Java, providing a complete platform for businesses to rapidly develop enterprise class Web services applications," said Ashwin Rao, Senior Product Manager for SunONE Studio. "iNsight, with Sun ONE Studio provides one of the most comprehensive sets of development tools for Web services creation, modeling and consumption found in the market today." Iopsis iNsight allows developers to rapidly assemble Web services from existing Java code. Unlike previous tools that blindly generate WSDL (Web Services Description Language) An XML-based language for defining Web services. Developed by Microsoft and IBM, WSDL describes the protocols and formats used by the service. and XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. from low-level Java interfaces, iNsight helps developers use rich business logic interfaces (e.g., "reserve inventory") in long-running Web services transactions. "Until now, tools generated WSDL files that merely reflected internal interfaces that were often useless for application-level contracts," said Rajesh Pradhan, CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization.

"Iopsis iNsight works at a higher level and automatically handles versioning, object naming and interoperability issues, creating Web services that are useful in a real business context." Iopsis will be showcasing iNsight in booth 406 at San Francisco's JavaOne next week. The demonstrations will show modeling Web services interfaces, choreographing their actions in long-running business processes, and deploying working applications to the standard environments of .NET, Apache and J2EE's JaxRPC. iNsight's new features Iopsis iNsight has always worked as a seamless extension to the SunONE Studio IDE, providing ease of use and automation to Java developers working in Web services. iNsight has added a series of packs that lower the costs and time involved with developing Web services applications: -- Foundation Pack The core components that extend the SunONE IDE with new windows and code generators for XML and WSDL, plus functionality for repurposing existing software assets in SAP R/3 and XML data sources. -- Basic Pack Creates Web Service Interfaces that conform to the WS-I Basic profile The WS-I Basic Profile (official abbreviation is BP), a specification from the Web Services Interoperability industry consortium (WS-I), provides interoperability guidance for core Web Services specifications such as SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. , extending the IDE capabilities with UML based modeling of WSDL interfaces -- Orchestration Pack Creates choreography interfaces based on BPEL4WS 1.1 and ebXML BPSS (1) (Business Process Specification Schema) A subset of the UN/CEFACT Modeling Methodology (UMM) that is used to develop ebXML software. The UMM is used to model business processes and information, but is too generic to be evaluated by ebXML-compliant 1.05 modeling, facilitating deployment to IBM's BPWS4J BPWS4J Business Process Execution Language for Web Services JavaTM Run Time (IBM) , Collaxa's Orchestration server, and ebMSH 2.0-compliant servers. -- Mobile Access Pack The Configuration and deployment tools for wireless web service applications using the Iopsis iNfinite multi-channel application framework Product Availability and Pricing Iopsis iNsight 2.1 will be available for free download, evaluation and purchase in June 2003 at www.iopsis.com. iNsight runs on Solaris 8 + 9, Windows 2000 + XP, and RedHat Linux 7. Iopsis iNsight 2.1 is typically $1000-2000 per developer seat, depending on the number of packs used.
