CXFers,
I was going trough my old archives and because the original proposal
had been posted to several lists I missed this note and didn't respond
in a timely manner as my mail program put this note in the wrong folder.
I think the net of the request below from Sanjiva and it doesn't
appear to be posted to CXF Dev. I wanted to send this out for your
consideration and ask if y'all could respond to Sanjiva on his concern.
Cross posting is a bad thing. Sorry.
Matt

Axis2 also has CORBA bindings using Yoko. I wonder whether there's a
way to look at unifying that work to avoid whatever duplication
possible. Axis2 has a pretty complete binding and we're working on
client bindings as well (currently the work is mostly to Web service
enable a CORBA object).
DanK- are you the one who's working on that part in CXF? Can you
point us to the binding code?
The Axis2 work is here:

I believe the easiest way to proceed is to draft a proposal that
we will send to both Apache Geronimo and Apache CXF. Apache CXF
is still in incubation so I'm not sure if there are any specific
issues with doing this while they are incubating. I'm copying the
Incubator PMC for their input on this proposal to make sure we
have all the i's dotted and t's crossed.
...
The remainder of the modules in Yoko are part of the webservices
support and are independent of the underlying ORB implementation.
api -- interface classes used for the web services support.
bindings -- code to implement the CORBA-Web services bindings.
tools -- tools for generation WSDL and IDL for the bindings
maven-plugin -- some maven plugins that can use the tools for
generating binding-related build artifacts. None of the maven-
plugin code is used by the ORB.
There is also a distribution directory with some sample
applications. One set of samples demonstrates using the core ORB,
the other set is for WebServices. We recommend that the
distribution directory should move to Apache CXF as the
webservices examples use the orb samples to bind them as web
services. Since Apache Geronimo's only use of CORBA is for
exporting EJBs, these samples are not particularly valuable for
Geronimo.
The Yoko community did not have any committers that expressed an
interest in continuing work on these bindings. As such, only the
code would be moving to apache CXF.
Dan Kulp and I talked a bit yesterday (at least, I *think* it
was yesterday)... with my CXF Mentor hat on, I think this makes a lot
of sense, not only for the CXF code and functional aspects, but also
as a potential mechanism to bring in additional developers for the
podling.
