What's New

The following table describes many of the major new features in ALDSP 3.

Feature	Details
AquaLogic Integration	Increased integration and interoperability with other AquaLogic products. Specifically: Support for WebLogic 10.1 and Workshop for WebLogic 10.0 MP1. (ALDSP 3.2) Integration with the AquaLogic Common Service Consumption Framework (ALDSP 3.2/3.01) Interoperability with AquaLogic Enterprise Repository (ALER). Integration with the Service Assembly Modeler (SAM). Integration with AquaLogic Service Bus (ALSB). Integration with AquaLogic Enterprise Security (ALES). Support for WebLogic 9.2 and Workshop for WebLogic 9.2 and 10.2 (ALDSP 3.01).
Update Model	Robust data services update capabilities with minimal coding. Specifically: Mutator functions for updates (ALDSP 3.2/3.01) Support for CRUD operations. Graphical update mapper that displays and enables editing of update logic. Support for custom, user-defined update procedures via XQuery Scripting Extensions (XQSE). SDO 2.1 support.
Native Web Services Support	The interface between web services and data services has been improved and simplified. Data Services can be enabled as Web Services - declaratively. Client applications now access data through web services via the Web Service Mediator API. Integrated IDE environment to create, configure and test these data services as web services. Eliminate previous requirements to utilize ALDSP Control and JWS along the path from data services to web services.
IDE	Full integration of the Data Services Studio with the Eclipse framework, providing: WSDL Consumption through the AquaLogic Common Service Consumption Framework (ALDSP 3.2/3.01) Enhanced data service mapping editor. Integrated server and deployment management. Outline view supporting large models and data services.
Administration and Deployment Operations	Flexible management and control of ALDSP dataspace projects: Deployment using Work Managers (ALDSP 3.2/3.01) Runtime and WSDL access service accounts (ALDSP 3.2/3.01) Projection of runtime security policies(ALDSP 3.2/3.01) Derived simple types (ALDSP 3.2/3.01) Support for incremental/granular data service deployment. Deploys data services in real time without service interruption. Service Explorer provides improved metadata management.
Security	Supports integrated security management, specifically: Encryption-based Data Redaction (ALDSP 3.2/3.01) Security configuration based on identity mappings. Security propagation to underlying data sources. Message- and transport-level security for native ALDSP web services.
Modelling	Fuller integration of the data services modeler with data services development, including: Enables model-driven data service development.
Performance	Operational and developmental performance improvements, including: Improved tooling performance when working with large schemas. Improved runtime memory management. Data streaming support for remote clients. 64-bit JVM support for larger addressable memory (RedHat, HP-UX Itanium).
