Hi,
I'm a long time listener to this list. The company I work for, iMediation, recently
added a new XML syndication product to their offering through the acquisition of
ArcadiaOne.
After asking the moderator if this was OK I thought I would post a quick note about it.
Here is a small description and a link to a more detailed product white paper.
The product is Java-based and is built around the idea of a subscription between 2
trading partners. A subscription is composed of a data source, transformation rules
and transport used. Subscriptions are defined through a web-based
interface which both trading partners can access (self-service publish-subscribe model
for subscribers).
- supported data sources: File systems, any SQL DB, i2 Aspect, + Adapter Dev Kit for other data sources.
- for transformation, we use our own rules engine. we also support external perl,
XSLT transforms. Complex transformations can be supported using our framework for
chaining of atomic transformations.
- supported transport: HTTP, FTP, SMTP, MOM (Vitria).
Other features:
- incremental updates.
- aggregation of multiple syndicators supported (reverse mode).
- Logs of every data sent.
- UI-based mapping engine.
Platform:
- Win NT/2K, Linux, Solaris; Apache/Tomcat; JDK 1.3
Here's the link to a more detailed info page http://www.imediation.com/esyndication/iMediation_eSyndication_3.0_Features_Architecture.doc. I appreciate your feedback and questions.
Thanks,
Guillaume
