4Suite Server is a platform for XML processing.  It features an XML data
repository, a rules-based engine, and XSLT transforms, XPath and
RDF-based indexing and query, XLink resolution and many other XML
services.  It also supports related services such as distributed
transactions and access control lists.  It supports remote,
cross-platform and cross-language access through CORBA, HTTP and other
request protocols to be added shortly.

It's not meant to be a full-blown application server.  It provides
highly-specialized services for XML processing that can be used with
other application servers.

The software is open-source and free to download.  Priority support
and customization is available from Fourthought, Inc.  For more
