IFBO as a webservice supporting ws-* ("WS-Star")

Very interested in hearing of anyone working on getting IFBO to support ws-star capabilities.

Current client (October 2009) would like webservice interfacing with Asset Suite business objects. Plan is to implement IFBO with HTTP POST (multipart as delivered from Ventyx) first and then work towards supporting ws-star.

The client is MicroSoft oriented and what they asked for is WCF (MicroSoft Windows Communications Foundation) compliant webservices for Asset Suite. Through speaking with a systems architect acting as an interpreter it was agreed with the client that what would be acceptable is ws-star compliant webservices for Asset Suite. It is hoped to accomplish this via the use of Sun's jaxws-ri.

Fortunately the client is also a heavy Oracle PeopleSoft user and it appears that Oracle does not deliver a webservice solution conforming to ws-star. Therefore the PeopleSoft developers are in a similar situation and it's led to the serious investigation of jaxws-ri.

As of October 2009, jaxws-ri has been implemented on Apache / Tomcat (version 5) on Solaris with almost all of the jaxws-ri/samples functioning. It's hoped that the samples can serve as a guide for wrapping IFBO in jaxws-ri with using ant for deployment.
