Project Kitty Hawk Seeks to Expand Service-oriented Architecture in Sun Products Sun Also Offers Service-oriented Architecture Readiness Assessment Program June 28, 2004, Volume 76, Issue 5 Project Kitty Hawk, a new initiative encompassing expanded service-oriented architecture (SOA)-enabling capabilities in Sun products, is underway. Project Kitty Hawk is designed to enable a new breed of enterprise software built around JavaTM technology-based Web Services, incorporating an SOA programming model and an open, extensible architecture. Elements of Project Kitty Hawk are currently scheduled to be phased in to the Sun JavaTM Enterprise System and the Sun JavaTM Studio Enterprise developer environment over the next two years, with initial deliveries targeted for the first half of 2005. Sun also plans to offer a new SOA Readiness Assessment program in conjunction with Project Kitty Hawk. "Sun currently provides customers with one of the industry's best Java Web Services products and technologies to develop and deploy secure, reliable and interoperable Web Services," said Mark Bauhaus, vice president, Java Web Services at Sun. "Now, through Project Kitty Hawk, Sun will give flight to the industry's most practical service-oriented architecture tools and infrastructure products." Project Kitty Hawk should enable the Sun Java Enterprise System to greatly simplify the administration, management, security and provisioning of services by making it possible to expose core SOA capabilities as a collection of reusable services. For example, IT organizations building SOA applications will have the ability to use a Sun Java Enterprise System-based registry service to provide centralized control of services versioning, services metadata management, and services registration and lookup, streamlining operations and enabling global services administration. Project Kitty Hawk's shared services model and federation approach will enable IT organizations to work with an enterprise-wide view of their services infrastructure, exercising finer control in administering service-level agreements, security policies, and identity and user management across the organization. In addition, Project Kitty Hawk will feature next-generation business integration infrastructure based on Java Business Integration standards enumerated in Java Specification Request (JSR) 208, a Sun-led industry effort to extend the Java platform to provide new standardized integration capabilities built on a modern SOA architecture. Implementations based on Java Business Integration will help to provide IT organizations with higher levels of portability and reuse of integration technologies not achievable with current integration products. Java Business Integration components such as business process engines, rules engines, and routing and transformation engines from multiple vendors can be easily combined in a single solution, reducing the cost of application integration and enabling best-of-breed solutions.
Additional capabilities planned for Project Kitty Hawk include Java
Studio tools that enable Service Oriented Development of Applications
(SODA) for deployment to the secure technologies in Project Kitty Hawk
planned for the Java Enterprise System. These development environments
include Sun JavaTM Studio Enterprise, Sun JavaTM Studio Creator and
a visual Web Services designer that will enable visual design-to-test
lifecycle development of asynchronous, distributed and conversational
Web Services, with exceptional speed and ease-of-use, to be made
available to subscribers of the SunSM Developer Network.
