Re: Retiring Sandesha2 from 1.7.0 release

[Michael Leditschke <mi...@compliancetest.net>]

I have only caught the tail end of this discussion due to the cross-post to
axis-user.

I wanted to alert the AXIS2 community to the work being undertaken by OASIS
in a standard
called ebMS3.

It is a SOAP based messaging standard that is seeing increased
interest in areas such as in the Superannuation Industry in Australia and
the Gas
Industry (ENTSOG) and the large scale pilot projects such as e-SENS in
Europe.

ebMS3 supports the optional preferred use of WS-ReliableMessaging for
reliable
delivery and WS-Security for authentication/encryption.

A number of the Java implementations for ebMS3 are naturally and sensibly
making use of AXIS2, including that of my own company. We are in discussion
with others in regards to collaborating on an ebMS3 module for AXIS2 for
release as OSS, most likely under an Apache style licence.

Thus the question of support for Sandesha2 (WS-ReliableMessaging) and the
addition of support for SwA Encryption for Rampart (WS-Security) are of
interest to this community.

There is the possibility of paid resources to assist in this work, so I'd
appreciate it if the list could point me in the direction of who to talk to
about becoming actively involved in these projects, hopefully to prevent
their demise and enhance their funcitonality.

As an aside, my company are also making use of Synapse for our ESB so news
of withdrawal of support for Sandesha2 is of concern.

Regards
Michael
