Hi folks, We're getting to the point that I think we're closing in on our next release. So I'd like to recap the big issues that are outstanding that I see:
- WS-Security & SecureConversation & Trust - I would really really like to see us be able to support this for interop with WCF. - Tooling refactoring (this includes cleanup of java2wsdl in runtime, I want to see wsdl generation using the service model from our service factories before a release) - JAX-WS TCK Testing (see below) - CXF-28: Nice XML - we should finish moving away from our property editors to spring 2.0 handlers - We have no service routing story or examples - schema duplication in common/metacode? - Other open JIRAs We are also in BIG need of documentation. Specifically: - Using Spring 2.0 config syntax - HTTP Transport - WS-RM - WS-Policy - XFire migration docs - Using Aegis databinding - Using WSDL2Java & Java2WSDL in Maven & Ant At this point I see the following features probably being pushed to 2.1: - WSDL 2.0 support - XMLBeans support (this may or may not be possible to integrate in as part of the Aegis module, the big question is tooling - any volunteers?) - Any other WS-* work Re: JAX-WS - Can someone do some legwork and check if Apache will let us do a 2.0 final release without passing the TCK? Then we can focus on passing the TCK for 2.1. This would involve starting a discussion on [EMAIL PROTECTED] If we are positioning ourselves as just a JAX-WS implementation I can see how they wouldn't let us do release. But I think there are a lot of uses which don't center around JAX-WS that we focus on. For instance, there are a lot of XFire users who aren't using the JAX-WS features and so I would like to get them migrating ASAP so I can consolidate bug fixes in one place. As long as we're clear that compliance is not claimed we should be ok. What other items do people see? I think we should target starting a vote by March 30th, but we have a fair amount to do before then I think you can see. Please claim any JIRA issues you intend to tackle so its easier to see who is planning on working on what. I'm incredibly excited to get a new release out. CXF is looking great and its time for the world to really start using it! (BTW, I am focusing in on the security specifications this week unless someone else wants to volunteer. I could definitely spend some more time on routing or Aegis instead) - Dan -- Dan Diephouse Envoi Solutions http://envoisolutions.com | http://netzooid.com/blog
