[Apiman-user] Transformer policy plugin issue

[Eric Wittmann]

SOAP<->JSON conversion is, in my opinion, a separate feature request.  I 
have updated APIMAN-1182 to reflect that.

I think this is a valuable feature to have, but given our current 
backlog of work I cant' give you any great idea of when it might be 
implemented.

If you are up for it, it should be very possible to implement this 
functionality yourself as a custom policy.  Perhaps that could serve as 
a contribution back to the community which could then be improved upon 
for the benefit of all!  :)

I'd be happy to provide some direction on such an effort.

If that's not possible, we'll have to get to it as soon as we can. :)
