Managed Methods Inc., a provider of SOA (service-oriented architecture) & Cloud governance, has announced the availability of their JaxView 6.0. While providing full support for SOA & Cloud management for the IT operations, JaxView 6.0 expanded runtime policy enforcement features such as expanded service virtualization and security federation.

"We are very pleased with our customer adoption of JaxView for SOA & Cloud governance for monitoring and securing such environments." states Al Aghili Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Managed Methods Inc.

"As companies build services for re-use and move their API's into the cloud the need for tools that can make that transition into production easier and provide the security and visibility needed, becomes imperative. JaxView's comprehensive feature set, ease of use, and cost effective total cost of ownership makes it an ideal product for both small and large deployments" states Aghili.

JaxView 6.0 features include:

• Policy based mediation for integration with multiple platforms. JaxView can be deployed in multiple options to provide visibility and control of your service environment. The gateway and agent-less deployments are platform independent. Our agent based deployment supports all major SOA platforms including Oracle, IBM, JBoss, SAP, J2EE, .NET etc...

• Comprehensive Monitoring of Real User usage and performance of service applications. JaxView can monitor, report, alert on end to end activities of real consumers accessing your service application.

• JMS Service Virtualization Convert any JMS topic or Queue into a Web service with dynamic WSDL generation. This feature performs a protocol conversion where the consumer send requests to JaxView in HTTP SOAP and JaxView converts the protocol to appropriate JMS version and send to the backend ESB.

• Security Federation. JaxView can support advanced security federation standards, providing enterprise-class token, authorization, and PKI capabilities for SOA & Cloud Services

• Embedded Secure Token Service. JaxView can integrate with external Secure Token Services for authentication and Token Mapping. In 6.0 we have created an embedded Secure Token Service for token generation. So one instance of JaxView can be setup to be a secure token service while others perform security federation.

• Service Virtualization. JaxView 6.0 allows you to create virtual services from artifacts of other services. So you can create a service which includes operations from multiple other services. This also includes dynamic WSDL generation for those services.

• Database Services. JaxView 6.0 allows you to create a web based service for your databases. So the Web Service clients can send requests to JaxView in HTTP SOAP and JaxView will execute the query or Stored Procedure on the back end in JDBC and send a http SOAP response back to the client.
