WSO2 Mashup Server 1.5 - Release Note - 21st July 2008
"Create, deploy, and consume Web services Mashups in the simplest fashion"
The WSO2 Mashup Server is a powerful yet simple and quick way to tailor Web-based information to the personal needs of individuals and organizations.
It is a platform for acquiring data from a variety of sources including Web Services, HTML pages, feeds and data sources, and process and combine it with
other data using JavaScript with E4X XML extensions. The result is then exposed as a new Web service with rich metadata and artifacts to simplify the creation
of rich user interfaces.
The WSO2 Mashup Server will form the backbone of a become an ecosystem of community-developed services that will broaden the palette of capabilities for mashups and distributed applications.
WSO2 Mashup Server is released under the Apache License v2.0
Check out the project Home page for additional information.

- API documentation
- Ability to bundle a custom user interface for the mashups
- Many useful Javascript Host objects that can be used when writing mashups
- WSRequest: invoke Web services from the mashup services
- File: File storage/manipulation functionality

New In 1.5
- Request object
- Ability to secure hosted mashups using a set of commonly used security scenarios
- Ability to call secured services using the WSRequest host object
- Integrated Data Services Support (expose data locked up in DataBases, Excel spreadsheets and CSV files with ease)
- OpenID login support
- Apache Shindig powered, Google compatible, per-user Dashboard and browser based editor support for developing gadgets for hosted mashups.
Known Issues
- Management Console was tested only on IE 6/7 & Firefox 1.5/2.0/3.0.
- Inter-service dependencies using the dynamically generated stubs may give deployment time errors. Workaround would be to save a local copy of the stub in to the dependent service.
- JSON support lacks try-it support
- Mashup editor will convert < and > characters to < and > while saving the code in the server. This might result in
malformed xml. Using these special characters with caution is adviced.
Refer http://wso2.org/jira/browse/MASHUP-607.
Future Directions
- Improved tooling support.
- An expanded toolkit of generic building-block services.
- Deep registry integration including governance, rollback, dependency analysis, etc.
- Lots more cool stuff.

Issues can be reported using the public JIRA available on the WSO2 Oxygen Tank.

Hi, Did you use
Hi,
Did you use system.include in order to include this JavaScript file? If so it should work. Can you have a look at this sample [1] which I have put up on mooshup.com that imports such a script.

My mashup server access the external site via a proxy.
So, I modified \conf\axis2.xml file like the following.
***
parameter name="Proxy"
Configuration
ProxyHost 10.10.10.10 /ProxyHost
ProxyPort 20066 /ProxyPort
/Configuration
