I have now set the stage on what I think we need to do, how long I think that will take with regular "all in-house" vs "leveraging open source like Qi4j", where the latter "only" needs some type of SOAP integration, both incoming and outgoing requests to/from other systems. Whether the 'time-to-market' argument is strong enough (it is No1 priority in general) to overcome the reluctancy to use open source and an associated learning curve, or not will probably play out in the next few days. Since I think this 'renovation' will become highlighted in many other teams, it could be a big catalyst to spin off many other projects as well next year or so... In the weekend, I will start looking at integrating CXF into Qi4j's service mechanism and see if I can make that completely generic or not. One advantage of CXF over other similar ones is that it has a powerful type mapping system (it also supports JAXB) which I think can be taught Qi4j. We'll see how that goes... into sandbox first.
