Is WSIF still alive?
Hello,
What´s your opinion about WSIF (http://ws.apache.org/wsif/)?
Is this projekt still alive? Does anybody work with it??
Thanks,
Jens

Thanks for the comments.
I think it is no good idea to use it than for bigger projects...

So I was the original instigator of WSIF (along with Sanjiva and his
team in IBM Research). As far as I know there is very little activity
on WSIF (maybe two patches since the last release in 2003).
IBM WebSphere integration certainly used to use WSIF inside, but I
thought that was being scaled back.
There are some WSIF like ideas being done in Axis2 as well (with CORBA
invocation), but I'd say WSIF is pretty much dormant.

i think of it at regular intervals ;-) because i always thought it's a
pretty compelling idea: WSDL as a universal interface description
language and an invocation API that's independent of transport
protocol. sadly, though, i think they never made good on that promise
and the project has been abandoned some time ago.
(having said that, when i worked with IBM websphere integration
developer, i got the impression that it uses WSIF under the hood. but
of course one never knows how close that proprietary spin-off is to
the apache project.)
