Yes, can be generated by jboss-ws, maybe with as small 'wrapper' class

  | I don't know these technologies.  But my concern is: how easy or hard will it be to create new commands and expose them through that web service ?
  | Depends on the signature of the commands, but in general not to hard. The initial configuration was tough, but adding new commands could be done in hours"tom.baeyens at jboss.com" wrote :

No, can run with jboss-ws in tomcat

No, no SLSB is needed just the command objects, what you describe is JSR-181, WS for J2EE 1.5/EJB3

  | * we have to generate the JAXB bindings from the command beans themselves ?  
  | This is what I want to try yes and then put this command object in the commandexecutor

"tom.baeyens at jboss.com" wrote : is it hard to customize ?
  | Depends on what you want to customize. If you want new ws calls for which no commands exist it is more difficult. If we just use the JbpmContext and e.g. implement HQL in there it is not difficult.

  | Depends on the amount of effort we want to put in there initially. I have a list from a customer that is limited, but usable for them"tom.baeyens at jboss.com" wrote :

  | You don't have to convince me yet...  cause i just don't get it yet.  One way to get more insights is if you just go ahead and implement the basic structure.  So that we can have a look out how it works.
  | I'll  try to get an example up and running before the weekend is over since I'll be on Aruba the two weeks after that. I do not want to check it in yet though since I've made changes to the build scripts (there is a ws dir now) and some libs are required that are not in the repository yet (afaik). How can we communicate this?"tom.baeyens at jboss.com" wrote :
