[jbossws-dev] Re: Web Service Stack for EAP 5

Hi Folks, We discussed this topic on Friday last week during our internal team workshop. As a result we came up with the idea of defining the set of required functionality for an enterprise ready web service stack and compare what we currently have in all three stacks. The result of this comparison would give us a clearer idea of how we want to move forward and how we distribute our available resources. http://jbws.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=JBossWSSupportedStackCom... Native is the only certified stack, integration work for WS-TX pending, weak in the tools area. CXF has javaee5 certification pending, integration and documentation of extended functionality pending. Metro has javaee5 certification pending, integration and documentation of extended functionality pending. Metro is also considering their offer complete. My preferred strategy would be to gradually unlock more of the Metro/ CXF functionality (maybe 20% of our time) and start the TCK effort for one of the stacks when/if we decide to replace our default stack. But instead of jumping to a conclusion, I would like to bounce this back to you for feedback. cheers -thomas Mark Little wrote: > I would have thought that JBossWS-native is the tier 1 because we > know we can support it now and then Metro and CXF as tier 2/3. > Obviously things may change in subsequent releases, as long as > backward compatibility isn't broken. > Mark. > On 6 Mar 2008, at 22:16, Andrig T Miller wrote: >> Mark and Thomas, >> >> Since we all are now on the same page about what version of >> our WS stack is in AS 5, the question now for EAP 5, is which web >> service stack, our own JBoss Native, CXF or Metro are we actually >> going to ship with EAP 5.
