[jbossws-dev] [Design of JBoss Web Services] - Future directions for JBossWS

[karypid]

Hello all,

I am writing to inquire what the plans for the future of JBossWS-Native are. As far as I could find on the net, this stack was born by forking Axis code and modifying it to achieve J2EE compliance and never got re-merged, thus forming a project of its own for quite some time now.

Recently though, JBoss was able to pass the J2EE TCK using JBossWS-CXF. I also read in an interview on DZone http://java.dzone.com/videos/mark-little-tech-chat?mz=3006-jboss with Mark Little, that you guys intend to stop doing everything "in house" and focus on using CXF as an officially supported stack in EAP 5:

anonymous wrote : DZone: At one point it seemed that JBoss was trying to build everything it needed within its own ecosystem. That seems to be changing though.
  | Mark Little: ....... For instance, as I mentioned earlier, we're now using the Apache CXF project as our Web Services stack. We still maintain our own Web Services stack at the moment, but the aim is that CXF will become the default Web Services stack at some point in the future.

So, is JBossWS-Native going to stick around or is the long-term plan to gradually "drop" it?
