WSIF is barely alive - the level of interest went down very much. nonetheless i have just built (hopefully) the final 2.1 version - it would be great if anybody interested in WSIF took it for spin (it has some new things like BSF support and updated AXIS1): http://people.apache.org/dist/ws/wsif/ i think main value of WSIF is how nicely it abstracts services with WSDLs that can describe any protocols not just SOAP with WSIF Providers and WSDL Extensions (see http://ws.apache.org/wsif/providers/ ) so i would like to create a new version that would have support for AXIS2, WSDL2 and other but i need help to see what is needed - to this extent i created wiki page for it at http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/WSIF/IdeasForNewWsif so if you are interested in shaping WSIF future please write and suggest direction you want it to take - it is really up to WSIF users to make WSIF what they like it to be :-) thanks, alek ps. i also maintain a completely experimental version of WSIF (that i called XWSIF) at www.extreme.indiana.edu as part of XSUL. this version has some interesting capabilities prototyped such as ability to set per-service providers that i added today (so it is easy to create security context such as client side certificates that is service specific). -- The best way to predict the future is to invent it - Alan Kay --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
