With 2.0.1 almost out the door (getting votes when everyone is on vacation sucks), I'd like to take a minute to think about what should go into 2.1. We've tossed around a bunch of ideas and I'd like to get them written down. I'll probably start a "wish list" wiki page once the ideas get flowing, but for now, here's my list of stuff I've seen floating around:
1) JAX-WS 2.1/JAXB 2.1 - this is a fairly large amount of work as there are some very significant changes that will involve code generation changes, java -> wsdl changes, runtime support changes, etc.... 2) Data bindings - XmlBeans and JIBX have been on the list for a while and I'm sure more XFire folks could find CXF more useful if we got those working. There are two parts: runtime and tooling. 3) JavaScript stuff - the javascript frontend needs some refactoring to allow calling other services with it, make it not dependent on the jaxws frontend, etc.... Also the js donation from Basis Tech would be great to get wired in. (if we can get the grant set, too many people on vacation) 4) Rest stuff - all the buzzword compatible stuff. :-) 5) WS-* specs - do we have time to tackle any more of these at this point? Which ones should we prioritize? 6) OSGI bundling - I think adding simple OSGI manifests for our jars would be fairly easy. However, should we create some "bundles" to represent common functionality? (like JAX-WS/SOAP/HTTP bundle) I hate to ask for more ideas as that alone is a TON of work, but at this point, let's get the ideas flowing. :-) -- J.
