In this new release, Ipedo has also extended support for Web Services standards to boost interoperability with service-enabled tools and applications.
Exposing databases and application data in an SOA requires avoiding the potential pitfalls of complex programming, performance bottlenecks, and lost data governance.
Ipedo XIP is perfect for organisations looking to make their data available as data services, because it provides an intermediary layer that can quickly publish Web Services using optimal queries, while at the same time managing performance and ensuring control.

Affordable, comprehensive document control offered
Electronic control can provide a secure, convenient solution, and a package is designed to deliver comprehensive quality standards document control at an affordable price.
The enhancements to Ipedo XIP are designed to make moving to an SOA even easier, and include:.
* One-Click Publishing - The enhanced Web Services wizard allows simple one-click publishing of new Web Services, complete with security profiles, performance management, and automated WSDL generation.
* Dual Caching Option - Allows a Web Services View to be cached natively as XML, or in relational form, or both.
Native caching improves performance and allows versioning of XML results.
Using the relational option allows automatic decomposition of XML into relational form for use in other applications.
* Web Services Tables Metadata - Metadata enhancements for Ipedo's Web Services Tables display complete lineage and dependency information for inbound Web Services.
Ipedo's Web Services Tables allow users to easily map XML-based Web Services into relational models.
* Join Hints for Web Services - Ipedo's query optimiser can now accept hints, including join strategy and join order, that minimise the number of Web Services calls needed to fulfill a query request, and thereby improve overall performance.
* XQuery for SOA - Ipedo's XQuery engine has been tuned to provide greater insight and better performance for SOA with a range of advanced functions, including XML payload introspection, fast transformation, content validation, and service metadata introspection.
In addition, XQuery can be used to trigger subsequent 'cascading queries' based on the payload content of a Web Service.
"As we see more and more of our customers make the move to SOA, their needs for creating and managing data services continue to grow," said Nick Zhang, CEO of Ipedo.
"Tapping our extensive experience in both SQL federation and XML processing, we have created an enhanced platform that bridges the old and new, and takes the pain out of moving to a loosely-coupled architecture".
As part of its commitment to SOA, Ipedo has also joined WS-I an open industry organisation chartered to promote Web Services interoperability across platforms, operating systems and programming languages.
Ipedo is now a WS-I Advocate, and Ipedo XIP is conformant with the WS-I Basic Profile and WS-I Basic Security Profile.
