Hi, I've been experimenting a bit on the service routing lately, the result has been put on the wiki: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CXF20DOC/Service+Routing. So it works ((I will check in a system test shortly), my main concern though, is that this implementation does not seem to be very "simple", it does require a fair amount of knowledge of CXF internal. Not sure if it is appropriate to expose this to CXF userland. Anyway, I am open to any comments&suggestions.

Namely being able to create some type of routing endpoint which routes to other types of services. My main use cases is versioning of services. Ideally many services can share the same URL and I can route by headers or the namespace of the body part. Regarding how to know what services to route to - I think its up to the user to write that code. I was kind of envisioning that it'd be an interceptor that a user writes. We could build something more formal like a registry, but we would need something low level first :-) - Dan -- Dan Diephouse Envoi Solutions http://envoisolutions.com | http://netzooid.com/blog
