While working on the JMS binding I've been wondering if we could enhance the current data binding framework to provide more APIs which a binding could use help with the process of conversion to/from Tuscany messages to protocol specific messages. I don't have a completely clear idea of what this would look like yet but it would be things like doing operation selection and transformation of the message body to/from protocol specific headers and payloads. The JMS binding currently has a JMSMessageProcessor which does some of this but it seems like it might be better if more could be done by the data binding framework to replace that and to come up with a more standard and consistent approach that we could use across all extensions and using the new <databinding> scdl element being discussed by the spec group. Does anyone else have any ideas on this or are interested in help looking at this area?
