WSO2 StockTrader is an online stock trading sample application with functionality equivalent to the Microsoft .NET Stock Trader sample benchmark application and IBM WebSphere's Trade 6.1 sample application.

The benchmark application was showcased as part of the Microsoft Tech•Ed North America 2008 IT Professionals conference, where Jonathan Marsh - Director of Mashup Technologies at WSO2 - together with Microsoft's Greg Leek - Director of Connected Systems Division - explained WSO2 WSF/PHP Interoperability with Microsoft WCF.

With WSO2's Web Services Application Server, hassles related to the development, deployment, management and consumption of enterprise level Web services have become a thing of the past. An ever increasing number of users are riding the Web services bandwagon and exposing their services using SOA. But how can a user who may already have some code written in a non-Web services-specific way, perhaps as plain old java objects, make use of the power of Web services? Can it be done without having to rewrite all of the existing code?

This tutorial by Lahiru Sandakith will walk you through the process of developing a gaming service exposed as a Web service, to show how easy it is to test and debug a POJO web service with WSAS's newly introduced feature of Eclipse WTP IDE Integration. This is the second part of the tutorial.

Java Management Extensions(JMX) is a technology that allows you to implement management interfaces for Java applications. In this tutorial, Afkham Azeez describes how to manage WSAS via JMX using the MC4J console.
