Fernando, so are you changing Ode to use WSIF APIs directly as a binding
layer? That should work nicely.
We're also integrating WSIF functionality into the Axis2 APIs directly as
well; once that's done the current Axis2 binding will directly support
what Fernando is looking for - including invoking CORBA objects, EJBs and
POJOs as "Web services."

Hi, Fernando --
I just wanted to let the community know about the efforts being done by our
company to integrate WSIF extensions into Ode.
Cool! I know that this is a frequent request from potential users, so
integration would be nice to have.
So far, we've managed to make Ode understand the new WSDL extensions. We did
this by registering the new binding serializers and deserializers provided
by WSIF. We're able to expose the WSDL with the new extensions.
WSDL4J is the representation that Ode uses (is there any other library
in use?), so that should work.
At the moment we're trying make Ode be able to invoke those processes, and
it has been somewhat complicated because of Ode's direct use of SOAP. Still,
we're trying hard to complete the integration and will be posting our
progress.
Hmmm. If you're seeing SOAP, then you might be doing something in a
less direct way than you have to. Do you have the code or an
architecture diagram posted somewhere?
