Alek, Could you elaborate ... I agree WSIF has a 'core' set of dependencies (like wsdl4j.jar) and a set of optional dependencies (like j2ee.jar). Any providers that can be built given the classpath environment Ant is in should be built. So if j2ee.jar isn't on the classpath then (eg) the EJB provider shouldn't be built. I think we are there today (thanks to Dims for the changes to the build.xml to do this).
However, you can't build at a finer grain than a provider. So because the Apache SOAP provider also does SOAP over JMS, you also need JMS on the classpath to build that. Some restructuring of the providers to factor out JMS so it is optional (and hence not required on the runtime classpath) is desirable ... is this what you mean by 'restructuring WSIF' ? Do you feel we need to do this for our release? Your email indicates a structure like this: java/src/<provider_name>/org/apache/wsif....... I'm not keen on creating separate org/apache/wsif source trees for each provider. I thought we would be by sticking to java/src/org/apache/wsif... and conditionally building the classes we can build. Do you think otherwise?

JCA (J2C) provider hi, it seems it did not reach me ... we were talking about restructuring WSIF - and i think that every prvider should have its won source tree (src/pvider/XXX) and to be compiled independently? thanks, alek Jeremy Hughes wrote: > Alek, did you get this?
