What is IFX? The Interactive Financial eXchange (IFX) is a mature, well-designed XML-based, financial messaging protocol, built by financial industry and technology leaders incorporating decades of combined experience and best of breed design principles. The goal for IFX has been two fold: 1. To use real business use cases and develop content that is meaningful and useful to the financial services industry. 2. To create a strong, flexible, open architecture that will support extending the protocol in an efficient, interoperable manner. --- Davanum Srinivas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > sorry. dumb question. what's IFX? > > -- dims > > On 7/21/05, Shawn McKinney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > Greetings, > > > > We're running Soap transactions through Axis w/ > WSS4J > > WSDoAllReceiver handler enabled.
