| The Synapse project will create a robust, lightweight |
| implementation of a highly scalable and distributed service mediation |
| framework based on Web services specifications. |

| <section name="Introduction"> |
| <p>Synapse is a mediation framework for Web Services. Synapse allows messages flowing through, into, or out of an organization to be mediated.</p> |
| <!--<p>The user guide is available at <a class="external" rel="nofollow" href="http://wiki.apache.org/ws/Synapse/UserGuide">http://wiki.apache.org/ws/Synapse/UserGuide</a> </p>--> |
| <p>The configuration language and its syntax is available at <a class="external" rel="nofollow" href="http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/Synapse/SynapseConfigurationLanguage">http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/Synapse/SynapseConfigurationLanguage</a> </p> |
| |
| <p>Synapse, incidentally, is pronounced "sine-apse", and not "sin-apse". </p> |
| </section> |
| |
| <section name="Status"> |
| <p>Synapse is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), |
| sponsored by the Web Services PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects |
| until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process |
| have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. |
| While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or |
| stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has |
| yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.</p> |
| |
| <p>We have released the second Milestone M2. The release will support: </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><p> A streamlined configuration model and a new XML syntax</p></li> |
| <li><p> Concept of Endpoints </p></li> |
| <li><p> Global and message context based 'properties', and a new XPath extention function synapse:get-property() to read them</p></li> |
| <li><p> New mediators - Switch & Validate </p></li> |
| <li><p> Enhanced and streamlined mediators - send, drop, log, makefault, transform, header, filter, class, set-property, sequence, in & out </p></li> |
| <li><p> Message correlation support</p></li> |
| <li><p> Enhanced Spring support</p></li> |
| <li><p> Synapse initialization on Axis2 startup</p></li> |
| <li><p> Sample applications and configurations demonstrating most of the above features </p></li> |
| <li><p> Enhanced documentation </p></li> |
| </ul> |
