Welcome to Apache Stonehenge
============================
Apache Stonehenge is a set of example applications for Service Oriented Architecture 
that spans languages and platforms and demonstrates best practice and interoperability.
The aim of the Stonehenge project is to develop a set of sample applications to 
demonstrate seamless interoperability across multiple underlying platform technologies 
by using currently defined W3C and OASIS standard protocols. By having a set of sample 
applications, with multiple language and framework implementations will become a useful 
and important part of the SOA landscape. It will: 

    * illustrate and develop best practice for interoperable applications that communicate 
	  via distributed protocols,
    * demonstrate interoperability between platforms,
    * provide sample code upon which SOA developers can build,
    * help identify interoperability issues and their solutions, and
    * build confidence in cross-platform deployment of SOA technologies.

Incubation Disclaimer
=====================
Apache Stonehenge is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software 
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator 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.
