Fiorano Software has introduced what it calls an "iTunes like" Component Gallery to speed the delivery of modular business by allowing business analysts to assemble ready-to-deploy business solutions using standards-based, coarse-grained software components with XML interfaces.
The company says the initial rollout of the gallery contains several useful components including connectors to databases, files, XSLT transformers, HTTP sources, Web services, various flow components and middleware bridges. Components in the gallery use the JCA (Java Connector Architecture) and JMS (Java Message Service) interfaces, allowing any programmer worldwide to contribute to the gallery.
Components in the gallery can be developed in a variety of supported languages, including Java, C, C++, C# and all .NET languages including Visual Basic. Fiorano adds that it has a certification program in place to control the quality of released components.
