About Open source Web services
Open source is a practice of production and development that promotes access to the end product's source materials. Normally the use of open source tools is free, as long as the products built with those tools are also open source. In SOA, open source can help ease the process and the cost of developing new services. Get the latest information on open source Web services basics, best practices and how-to resources for architects and developers working on SOA and Web services projects. This is the place for tips, articles and expert advice on Apache, Eclipse and Ruby on Rails.
