Puma

Current version of ALSB is 2.6.
BEA's next release of ALSB with codename PUMA is following the general direction of AquaLogic products:

• Make integration of BEA products easier

If have no idea how far BEA is regarding their microServiceArchitecture vision, but this is certainly an important step in parallel:

• Puma will make use of the just announced Custom Transport SDK provided by the ALSB team. This is an implementation of a custom transport layer allowing ALBPM to talk directly with ALSB. One of the main reasons to bring this up was the demand on further improving performance.

Below is a pre-release screen shot of the ALBPM custom transport already working, deployed, inside ALSB:

PUMA will bring additional cool features to improve the ALBPM-ALSB integration. Features such as: automatic publication and subscription of services, better authentication support via WS-Security, etc.
