<title>Abstract</title>
<para>In complex IT environments it is necessary to integrate
different information systems with each other, exchange data
between
tools and automate actions and function calls depending
on events
arising from user interaction. To meet the requirements
of
integration building usually means to implement APIs and to
create
tool-to-tool bridges. Web Services can help to clean up
bridges into
interfaces as well as to abstract functions from
their underlying
platform and implementation.</para>
<para>These are the major goals of the loosely coupled
integration
strategy which is in turn one essential idea of a
service-oriented
architecture (SOA).</para>
<para>provide a low level set of functions and web services.
These can
be orchestrated into services and used in business
processes which
make up the execution part of a SOA
environment.</para>
<para>is an add-on to XBridgeNG 2.0. It runs standalone or in

<para>XML Schema for item based data types (e.g. tickets
from a bug
tracker system or a database record)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Set of Apache Ant tasks to function as a bridge
between the
XBridgeNG XML format at legacy 3rd party
software (e.g. HP Quality
Center, Serena TeamTrack,
...)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The add Web Services (SOAP) wrapper around Apache Ant
tasks
(since XBridgeNG 2.0)</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>The current focus is on file-based operations. do not
contain an

engine.</para>
