Today we were very busy putting toghether the pieces of our new messaging subsystem. It uses WSE2 exclusively and we are reusing as much code as we can, but also coding a lot to fill in the gaps we found.

One of this *huge* gaps is the support for some WS-* standard for reliable message delivery. We know that suport for WS-ReliableMessaging is in the works (maybe for WSE3 timeframe) but we need this now so we are going to develop that. So, we already started our work in that direction and found very little coding done but a lot of people interested in the same things we do. We are getting some help from the folks at the Plumbworks Orange project, but there are so much work to be done...

Other things we are working on are some custom transports (Memory Mapped Files and Named Pipes, the first one is very close to completion of a working prototype) and other things like a generic routing service, a protocol for discovery of nodes and a directory service for node registration, among other things.

When we have something to share i will post the news right here.
