Sorry if it appears that way. I did not intend to imply that they are wrong. My intent was to set the record straight that there *is* a registry and repository standard that exists todays. I am genuinely interested in what gaps exists in regrep specifically compared to what their repository has to offer today.

How cool is that!" I feel that both of above can be done with the current regrep spec.

Not sure I follow. Whatever Sun offers for above is available in freebXML Registry and is based upon the draft ebXML Registry Profile for WSDL. > > 4) Simplier classification and management UI > - this is really linked to 1) - so content management is much more > intuitive - something like the TortoiseCVS interface on the client > side would be scary good... Please see my point above that UI is not a spec / standards issue. Recall the discussion was around a SOA Registry Repository standard. > > 5) Linkage to Eclipse IDE so it aligns with the mainstream core toolset IMHO above is an impl issue not a spec / standard issue. -- Regards, Farrukh Web: http://www.wellfleetsoftware.com
