WSO2 Carbon Platform

The 100% open source, component-based WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware platform enables developers to rapidly orchestrate a broad range of business and technical solutions that integrate well with legacy, packaged and SaaS applications.

SOAP

An XML-based, extensible message envelope format, with "bindings" to underlying protocols. The primary protocols are HTTP and HTTPS, although bindings for others, including SMTP and XMPP, have been written.

WS-Addressing

WS-Addressing was originally designed as the way to convey connection state or context in SOAP messages, emulating the contextualization mechanism provided by HTTP headers in conjunction with stored cookies. This makes it possible to contextualize message exchanges in a similar way, independently of the transport used.

WSDL

An XML format allows service interfaces to be described along with the details of their bindings to specific protocols. It is typically used to generate server and client code and for configuration.

WSO2 DSS Management Console

WSO2 DSS Management Console is a Web-based control panel which enables system administrators to interact with a running WSO2 Data Services Server instance without touching any underlying configuration files. The Management Console allows the users to configure and manage Web services, registry, modules and much more.

XML

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a set of rules for encoding documents in machine-readable and simple form. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification.

Web Service

A Web Service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. They usually communicate in Extensible Markup Language (XML) and follow the SOAP standard.

HTTP/HTTPs

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a networking protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a combination of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with SSL/TLS protocol to provide encrypted communication and secure identification of a network web server.

GUI

Graphical User Interface is a graphical view through which users can invoke and control back-end functions.
