Hi Alek, Also send to soapbuilders .. lots of SOAPsters hang out there and WSIF is also in the SOAP space because it provides an alternate DII.

WSIF also describes the specific WSDL extensions used > to make these kinds of applications accessible as WSDL-described services. > > WSIF allows stubless or completely dynamic invocation of a Web service, > based upon examination of the meta-data about the service at runtime.
