Getting started with wso2

Remarks#

WSO2 products make heavy use of Java technology and are built on top of Carbon, the company’s SOA middleware platform. Carbon makes use of Apache Axis2 and encapsulates major SOA functionality[20] such as data services, business process management, ESB routing/transformation, rules, security, throttling, caching, logging and monitoring. WSO2 products are built on top of this platform.

Detailed instructions on getting WSO2 set up or installed.

Almost all the WSO2 Products can be started using the wso2server.sh/bat files that can be found in the <Product_Home>/bin folder of each product. When you run the sh/bat script it will star the particular WSO2 product with default settings and h2 as the database.
