In this webinar, we will provide a brief introduction to the WSO2 Mashup Server architecture and its Javascript-based development model, as well as highlight new features in the 1.5 release that supports enterprise deployments. These include support for message-level security (authentication, encryption, signing) on mashup services, and the ability to expose data sources such as a relational table, an Excel spreadsheet or a simple CSV file as a zero-coding Data Service.

In this article, you will learn how to convert your WSO2 Mashup Server to a personalized dashboard. Once implemented, each user of your Mashup Server will get his own Dashboard page similar to iGoogle, that is capable of displaying gadgets for mashups in your WSO2 Mashup Server. As an added bonus, users will also have the ability to import iGoogle compatible gadgets from other sources to this dashboard. All this could be done, either by upgrading to version 1.5 distribution of the Mashup Server or taking a simple Subversion checkout and doing a Maven2 build on your part.
