What is the current status of WSIF

We are starting to use some web services first time in our company.  There were few web service calls we had developed in the past and we were using WSIF. Now we do expect more and more web service calls being made and we do expect web services becoming an important part of the architecture in a year or so.

How do you guys see WSIF in the future? In order to invoke Web Services do you believe WSIF is the way to go? Or would you say WSIF is legacy and focus on something else? As I researched little bit, WSIF community is not very active anymore. There are many other things going on and it looks like Service Component Artchitecture (SCA) and some Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) are the ones to consider first.

Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts on this subject.

Hi Ahmet,
   I could see the future is bright. We have been using it for a while and successfully built a service invocation framework using WSIF and extending some of the features. It is a really good stuff where you want to invoke various types of services running on different protocol e.g http, soap, jms, POJO, EJB etc.

yes that is correct but the level of activity is depending
on
contribution of anybody interested (and if there are many
open issues
worked on which is not the case nowadays).

i think WSIF has many strong points and it provides an
excellent level
of abstraction of "service" by using WSDL and it
should stay around for
long time 

from my side i posted release candidates but i did not get
much of
feedback - if the latest RC is good we may vote to have it
released as
official new version of WSIF

as of future i would like to see AXIS2 provider added/tested
to WSIF and
maybe make a new version with the same API but some
improvements, such
as adding support for WSDL2, better and more flexible
XML-Java data
binding/mapping,  and more async with WS-Addressing, and
anything that
is people find useful and time to contribute ;)

best,

Alek
