Hi, I have some free time this month and I can pick up either the XML Catalogs story (provide a more complete support for XML Catalogs, which is part of our JAX-WS compliance stories) or I can start working on the service routing story first as Dan has listed below, if we think the service routing is a more important feature for this release. Dan, could you please elaborate on the details of service routing, like the requirement and expectation for this release. I presume its something related to XFire service routing migration, right? Thanks.
