Hi Ivelin/Others,

you might have noticed that WS CTS has made significant progress. We are 
now at 68% pass rate for the forward scenario. All issues have been 
identified and can be tracked with this filter

    
http://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=12310873

If the team manages to resolve an issue per day, we will be done by 
Mar-2007.

Our community is however much quicker in picking up the JAXWS 
functionality, which is only available in a preview version in jboss-4.x.

    http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBWSFAQSupportForJSR181

as a result of which I have to tell folks to go away and come back when 
jboss-5.0 is available. Using this strategy we will surely loose a lot 
of early JAXWS birds and they will probably move on to glassfish or xfire.

Our implementation in trunk on the other hand is much more functional 
than the CTS results suggest, so I decided to invest some work in the 
integration layer for jboss50, jboss42, jboss40, tomcat. The results are 
promising and I believe that I can cut a 1.2.0 release from trunk by 
1-Feb-2007

This would bring (almost) full JAXWS support to jboss-4.2.0 and 
jboss-4.0.5.
The jbossws-2.0.0.GA release is still the one that passes the CTS.

I would like this release to come out with a *BANG*. "JBoss supports 
JAXWS" should be heard as loud as "JBoss supports EJB3"
Key for this to succeed is good documentation and samples.

Maybe we can talk about this in more detail in Jan and define a list of 
action items that need to get done.

Have a good holiday and all the best to you and your family.

cheers
