Greetings Specification Committee...
This is not a ballot request. This is not a formal vote.
As you may recall, the scope statement that was approved for Jakarta XML Web Services did not include scope statements for the three specifications contained by the specification project. I'd like to start that ballot, and will do so on the public list.
Before that, however, I'd like to give you an opportunity to express any concerns.
Jakarta XML Web Services defines a means for implementing XML-Based Web Services based on Jakarta SOAP with Attachments and Jakarta Web Services Metadata.
Jakarta Web Services Metadata defines programming model for Web Services in Java, use of metadata, non-normative processing model for metadata annotated web service source file, runtime requirements for a container and annotations used for WSDL, binding and configuration.
Jakarta SOAP with Attachments defines API enabling developers to produce and consume messages conforming to the SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2 and SOAP Attachments Feature.
Please express any concerns that you have directly on the issue.
I'll initiate the vote on the public list tomorrow or Wednesday (depending on feedback).
