Active Endpoints has announced that it has made available a new learning tool for Java developers in the form of a complete and fully documented service-oriented architecture (SOA) application, written in ActiveVOS. The "Vintage Old Stock" application automates a fictional classic car restoration business and is an ideal scenario to show developers how to leverage web services to create SOA applications. Developers can interact with the application online as well as download a fully configured demonstration environment to try the application in their environments.

The Vintage Old Stock demonstration makes it easy for Java developers to learn how to implement SOA applications by demonstrating techniques for orchestrating web services, integrating with external systems, implementing complex event processing (CEP), integrating human tasks into an orchestration and many more capabilities. Java developers can explore these features online and are encouraged to adopt these techniques for their own development projects.

Accessing the Vintage Old Stock Application and Demonstration
The recommended approach for developers interested in exploring the Vintage Old Stock application consists of three easy steps:

• Download the step-by-step instructions in the "Owner's Manual" to get an idea of how the classic car restoration application works and which SOA techniques are used to automate the estimation process. Links in the Owner's Manual take developers directly to a live ActiveVOS system where they can try out the estimation application.
• Learn more about how the application was built by watching screen recordings on the ActiveVOS website.
• Download a fully-configured version of the application, including a free trial of ActiveVOS.
