Hi,

I agree that we should point WSIF users to Tuscany once it has subsumed
WSIF's capabilities since it has a more active developer community; however
I am not sure what Tuscany's current capabilities are, can you point me to
a release and documentation?

Thanks,
Nirmal.


Tuscany has just entered incubation and has not done a release yet. We
just imported the code into svn and the documentation is currently at:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tuscany/contrib/java/trunk/docs/
hi Jeremy,

i read the documentation from Tuscany and external SCA spec etc (the most useful was "Building Your First Application - Simplified BigBank") and i still do not see how it can be used in way WSIF is used - where is Tuscany client side WSDL based API described or declaring WSDL in sca.module/externalService/binding.ws is required for all client access to WSDL described services in Tuscany (that would not be very dynamic but maybe there are other ways to do it)?

thanks,

alek

Apache Tuscany has some similar capabilities to WSIF. Maybe we should be
encouraging new people to try that out, and document some sort of migration
path for existing WSIF users.

It seems a bit unfair to new users not to warn them that WSIF has likely
passed its sell-by date.

+1 to continuing keeping WSIF while there is interest from users and some
manpower available to maintain it.

There still isn't anything else like WSIF available in the Apache WS
portfolio, so I'd like to see it staying around.

WSIF      : Last legs? Time to pull the plug?


WSIF is currently in maintenance mode (fixing bugs etc.) and its future
depends on users interests -there were several inquiries and ideas what
to do but they did not go far (adding support for WSDL2 using Wooden and
AXIS2 is probably the most probable to happen).

if all goes well i will put a new (maintenance) release and update
website (after i re-forest my mind) but ultimately WSIF future really
depends on its users and developers - at least for now as long as there
is an interest i would like to see to having WSIF actively maintained.

thanks,

alek
