[FWD: [announce] Press Release - CECID Contributed OSB Service Bus to CECID Community Website]

["David RR Webber \(XML\)" <david@drrw.info>]

Team,

I'm wondering what would be required to support the BPST component from ebBP?  

Possibly an xslt to translate ebBP to the internal XML used by the BPST?

Also - I'm guessing this integrates to H20 ebXML messaging - I'll ask these Q's on the Hermes discussion list too.

Thanks, DW
