New page:
Apache Scout is the first attempt in the open source world to create a JAXR 
implementation. JAXR is the Java API for XML Registries. Apache Scout has 
support for UDDI registries only and is heavily biased and tested with Apache 
jUDDI.

History of Apache Scout
=======================

In 2003, Anil Saldhana was looking for open source implementation of the JAXR 
specification. He could not find one. The only available implementation was 
part of the Sun Java Web Services Developer Pack and its license then was very 
restrictive towards developers. The bottom line was that it was not 
integratable in 3rd party software. Ahh!!!

In 2004, Davanum Srinivas, Apache WS chair approached the jUDDI team for 
possible help towards implementing the Jaxr spec for use with the Apache jUDDI 
registry. Anil stepped up to take the task and coded the first cut that was 
heavily based on UDDIJ accessing jUDDI registry. Jeremy Boynes and Dims then 
provided some development support to replace the UDDI4J layer with jUDDI proxy.

In the beginning of 2005, Anil filled the missing pieces in the code to achieve 
JAXR compliance as part of the J2EE 1.4 Compatibility Testsuite. Geir from the 
Apache Geronimo team helped out with the coding and also tested Apache Scout 
with the J2EE 1.4 CTS.

Community Support
=================
Apache Scout, being the only open source implementation available for 
integration is being integrated into open source application servers - JBoss 
and Apache Geronimo. JBoss has integrated both Apache jUDDI and Apache Scout 
since v4.0.2

Status
======
The Apache Scout team will be releasing v0.5 for use by the general public 
soon. Thanks to Geir for handling the release process. Thanks again to Geir for 
telling the Scout team that we are missing a piece of functionality 
(asynchronous support) that will not make us claim JAXR 1.0 spec compliance. 
Okay, we will implement it soon and release v1.0
