Does anybody know what their position is? You'll have to ask IBM what their position is. We have repeatedly invited them to participate in this open industry standards forum so that the entire industry can come together in a forum with well defined rules that are understood and apply to all participants equally. Our intent in embarking on the WS-CAF work is to unify the various extant transaction models so that customers will have a higher certainty of interoperability, based upon publicly developed and ratified standards. The WS-Transactions and WS-Coordination are proprietary specifications owned and controlled by their authors -- IBM, MS, et. al. These documents have been made available only for "review and evaluation purposes" with the authors retaining all IPR, patent rights, etc. (see the documents for all the legal language). We have encouraged the authors repeatedly, both publicly and privately, to contribute their ideas and join this TC. So far they have chosen to pursue their own course. cheers, jeff >Best, >Guy Jeff Mischkinsky jeff.mischkinsky@oracle.com Consulting Member Technical Staff +1(650)506-1975 Director, Web Services Standards 500 Oracle Parkway M/S 4OP9 Oracle Corporation Redwood Shores, CA 94065
