Apache Stonehenge is a set of example applications for Service Oriented Architecture 
that spans languages and platforms and demonstrates best practise 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.

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.
