Comments
Contrats and Thanks for the 0.93 release.
I'm desperate for a JMS binding! Actually I need a binding for my employer's stupid wrapper around Sonic's JMS provider!
I peeked at the WSIF stuff but I'm guessing that Axis2 is so different that it's not really applicable. Correct me if I'm off here.
I'm at the point where I'd like to dedicate some time to figuring out how to write a protocol binding. I was hoping you could provide a high level outline of what I need to do (referencing as many Interfaces and Classes as possible).
Thanks In Advance,
Ron Pomeroy

Please join the axis-dev mailing list. Yes, we have to get JMS sooner than later. We need all the help we can get to implement things. Looking forward to your involvement.
thanks,
