[esb-dev] [Fwd: JAXR update to support UDDI v3?]

[Burr Sutter]

What is the alternative to JAXR?  Or is Java EE and UDDI essentially 
parting ways at this juncture and it is up to the OSS world to build 
something that becomes the "defacto standard" for providing a common 
Java-based API to the various UDDI registry products on the market?
