Cocoon should have a portal that is conformant to the portlet-API and can integrate seamlessly into XML-RPC and SOAP using WSRP. I think we may get there in about 4 years if we continue at this rate :-). Sorry to be a bit provocative and I do not mean to offend anyone. Discussion and base-touching is GOOD. However we also need some form of practicality to go with it. Step 1 (as we see it) was the donation of the portal framework and authentication last week. That may not be compatible to the portlet-api but hey - it works and is tightly integrated into Cocoon. Pipelines that access data such as moreover.com can be integrated as sunlets. Step 2: If we can now build components that connect to exisiting web services via XML-RPC and SOAP we would have the next step and open Cocoon as an ideal web service client platform (including portal). To be honest I do not care if we use Axis, Apache Soap or code everything by hand - but let's do it! Sure, WSRP is a way to go but we need to take the first step .. well .. first. Step 3: Open up Cocoon as a _server_ platform for web services by providing access via SOAP. Here it would be good if we can use Axis or something similar to provide WSDL or similar representations of the hosted services. This is obviously not as easy as the client side and will need more effort. </rant mode> Ok, so there you have the roadmap for CocoonWS :-) Matthew -- Open Source Group sunShine - Lighting up e:Business ================================================================= Matthew Langham, S&N AG, Klingenderstrasse 5, D-33100 Paderborn Tel:+49-5251-1581-30 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.s-und-n.de Weblogging at: http://www.need-a-cake.com ================================================================= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
