As Paul and Sanjiva kind of mentioned, this really doesn't need to be decided now. We DID talk about this a bit when we were working on the proposal and really didn't have a "good" answer right now. The goal of the project is to NOT be tied to Axis2 and the other WebServices project stuff.. Axis2 will be one implementation. .NET another. CXF another. Hopefully we'll get others as well. Maybe Metro, Spring WebServices, Oracle/BEA, etc..... Thus, tying it directly to the "axis2" stuff would be a disservice to Stonehenge and what it's trying to achieve. That's actually part of how the project would like to "diversify" and grow. Bring in implementations (and committers) for other toolkits. THAT said, there are talks to pull Axis out TLP with WebServices being the "common" stuff. If/when that happens, then it MIGHT make more sense to put it there. But that depends on events outside the Stonehenge project and isn't really something we wanted to depend on at proposal time. Thus, the decision was made to not put that tie in right now. That is something that can be resolved when the project is closer to graduation. Besides, don't you think the WS project is big enough already? :-) -- Daniel Kulp [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dankulp.com/blog --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
