I think that's why IBM wants it open-sourced - so that they can fork it, on the way to a proprietary implementation.
That's an interesting point of view Don. I'm curious as to what makes you think that, though. I mean, what does IBM gain from a proprietary / non-compatible Java implementation? One of the major advantages of Java is the write once / run anywhere stuff... take that away, and Java looks a lot less attractive... surely IBM recognizes this?
That's what they did to Apache Axis.
I'm not familiar with the details on this.. would you mind elaborating? I know that at one time IBM had some people contributing to the Axis project... but I'm not heavily involved with Web Services, so I haven't been following the goings on in that community.... I'm curious to hear more, if there is anything else you can say...
TTYL,
Phil
