We are looking forward to close collaboration with other projects at the ASF. For example, the seed code already makes extensive use of Axis 1 and we want to upgrade that to work well with Axis 2 and Synapse; we currently integrate with Tomcat and would like to extend that to Geronimo and Felix. We'd welcome involvement from those communities and hope to contribute to them as well. What we think is unique about Tuscany though is the focus on large scale heterogeneous systems. As SOA takes off, some of the greatest challenges people will face are integrating and managing the services that comprise them. ESBs like Synapse will play an essential role but people will need to deal with existing non-WS based services and non-XML data formats. One of the technical goals of the project is to provide the framework for pulling those together. Ultimately though, I think we will truly succeed if we build a healthy, dynamic and open community where these people can come together. The technology framework may provide the focal point but people using it and sharing experiences will be the greatest benefit. -- Jeremy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
