[jbosside-dev] regarding jbossws / wstools / soapui integration

[Ole Matzura]

Hi Max,

hehe.. yes, well thats what I'm trying to find out.. if there is a 
problem..

since the 2 scenarios for running jbossws differ in terms of deployment 
and available functionality, we need to decide how we handle that 
difference.. consider the situation when a developer runs jbossws 
standalone;

1) there is no "JBoss Server" to deploy to..
  - do we need to create a new "server plugin" in wtp for this setup or 
can we use the existing Tomcat Server?
  - will the deployment-features in jbosside still be usable for another 
server type?
2) there is no support for remaining JBoss functionality (EJBs, etc..)
  - should related features in the jbosside be disabled / adapted?

should jbosside even support this setup? or should we create a 
standalone "jbossws-eclipse-plugin" that is independant of jboss/jbosside?

There is maybe also a "strategic" aspect.. does jboss want to push 
jbossws as a standalone ws-stack (as for example axis, xfire, etc..) or 
is this more a "sidekick" that we can initially "ignore" in jbosside and 
our plugin?

thanks for your thoughts!

regards,
