A comment about the code. Might it be possible to replace all the import wildcards with explicit imports? I know some IDE's do that fairly easily, and if you happen to be using one of those, I'd appreciate it. Import wildcards are a personal pet peeve of mine. They make developing the code easier, but development is a very tiny part of the total life cycle of code. Most of its time is spent in maintenance or - particularly in the case of opensource code - learning the code, and most of the people maintaining/learning the code have no clue about its structure. If you don't happen to have a friendly IDE that tells you where a class comes from, the import statement is the next easiest way to find its source.

The decision to use org.apache.wsif as the package name has been unanimously accepted. So we will change com.ibm.wsif to org.apache.wsif. But there are also some packages under com.ibm.wsdl in wsif.jar which contain the WSDL extensions WSIF registers with WSDL4J. Specifically: com.ibm.wsdl.extensions com.ibm.wsdl.extensions.ejb com.ibm.wsdl.extensions.format com.ibm.wsdl.extensions.instance com.ibm.wsdl.extensions.java com.ibm.wsdl.extensions.jms My instinct tells me to put these under org.apache.wsif.wsdl.extensions instead of org.apache.wsdl.extensions since org.apache.wsdl may (now? or in the future) be taken by another project. I'd appreciate votes from anyone concerned with WSIF. Thanks, Jeremy -- Jeremy Hughes Web Services Invocation Framework
