WSIF: short and long term ...

[Aleksander Slominski <as...@cs.indiana.edu>]

hi,

it seems that WSIF is pretty stable but still one can wonder what should 
be in its future - so i think we, WSIF users and developers, are to make 
its future :)

i wonder if anybody care to comment what is currently missing the most 
and what bugs/improvements from the list are really important? i think 
in JIRA it is possible also to vote for bugs/issues:

http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&pid=10462&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=priority&resolutionIds=-1&component=10827

i have some ideas like support for WSDL 2.0,  access to local Java 
service (does not require network  connection and accepts XML directly) 
and not just Java object (so XML mapping can be avoided), and generally 
more providers.

i am also thinking that it may be beneficial to give more direct access 
to XML infoset from WSIF to enable better support for doc/literal and 
more fine grained control over Java <=> XML infoset mapping (that would 
make for more powerful dynamic invoker).

so please post to the mailing your suggestions or opinions.

thanks,

alek
