Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Ws Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by BensonMargulies: http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/WebServicesPMCReorg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Transports are only ever used in an Axis2 environment. * Other projects (i.e. Abdera) use Axiom * Other projects (i.e. CXF) use XmlSchema + + === Notes on XML Schema === + + While CXF (and and presumably Axis) depend on XmlSchema, the committer community is tiny. The combination of it with the other commons items doesn't help very much in achieving critical mass, since the subject matter is so disparate. Given the apparent push toward taking release votes more seriously, this is a matter of real concern. Maybe it can be addressed in the proposal(s) below by actively recruiting more interested parties to the relevant PMC. Or, maybe CXF would make a better home, insofar as there is active work at CXF that depends on ongoing maintenance and improvement of Xml Schema. Another possibility is Xerces. After all, W3C XML Schema is not uniquely, or even primarily, a web service technology. I had a recent discussion with the Xerces-dev community. Initially, the reaction was to express distress that XmlSchema had ever been invented, insofar as it was 'just another' package that solved problems addressed elsewhere. However, further exploration revealed tha t the code inside Xerces (not to mention stuff over at dev.java.net) doesn't address the same use cases as XmlSchema does. Thus, more discussion might come up with a plan to push XmlSchema in with the rest of ASF's XML universe. + == Proposals ==
