Apache Tuscany Java DAS 1.0-incubating-beta1 released

August 21st 2007 - Apache Tuscany is pleased to announce the
1.0-incubating-beta1 release of the Java DAS project.

Data Access Services (DAS) works together with Service Data Objects
(SDO) simplifying handling of data when interacting with the back-end
data source and frees application developers from dealing with
tedious and error-prone transformation between end source types and
SDO Data Object Types/properties.

Key features of 1.0-incubating-beta1 release are :

- Support for J2SE connections in DAS config using Driver Manager.
- Added support for multiple database schemas in queries
- Enhanced Optimistic Concurrency Control with overqualified updates
- Multiple enhancements around ApplyChanges API
- Enhanced Documentation : User, Developer and Architect guides
as well as javadocs
- Enhanced and new sample applications

For a complete list of changes on this release, please view the release notes.

Tuscany is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Web services PMC. Incubation
is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review
indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making
process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful
ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection
of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that
the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
