The latest stable version of Metro (which ships as part of GlassFish v2) has been extensively tested with Microsoft's WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) version 3.0. The next version of .Net 3.5 is already out and the team is working hard to achieve the best possible interoperability with this new set of WS-* implementations. |
Harold and Rama report on the most recent "plugfest" with Microsoft engineers. The work involves moving from some non-standard technologies (such as WS-ReliableMessaging 1.0 which is "just" a specification, not an open standard) to the OASIS version (OASIS WS-RM 1.1, dated July 2007) for better interoperability. The set of test scenarios is comprehensive and results very promising.
Check out Metro's roadmap here for an idea of when to expect stable releases. In the mean time, you can get the nightly builds.

Metro, the Web services stack in GlassFish V2, participated in the fourth Microsoft Interoperability Plugfest. Read Harold's report for more details. Metro is already interoperable with .NET 3.0 and Microsoft is working on .NET 3.5 framework. This plugfest participation was to ensure that there are no regressions when a Metro 1.0 client try to invoke a .NET 3.0 endpoint deployed using .NET 3.5 runtime and vice versa. |
We have already done extensive testing between Metro 1.0 and .NET 3.0. The next version of Metro will align with the specifications used in .NET 3.5.

Microsoft has announced a new Web Services Interoperability Plugfest, and Sun will participate using Project Tango, a key component of Metro - the Web services stack in GlassFish V2. Project Tango's focus is interoperability with .NET 3.0 and that will be unchanged until GlassFish V2 is released later this year. This plugfest will give us an opportunity for regression testing with Microsoft's upcoming .NET 3.5 framework as well. Relationship building will continue to be a key part of this visit. The interop scenarios from the plugfest are run regularly and the results with Tango Milestone 5 (integrated in GlassFish V2 b50) demonstrate that. |

WS-TX is the last component from WSIT (nee ProjectTango) that has been released under Open Source into the GlassFish Community. Like most of GlassFish, the WSIT repository can be browsed using FishEye. If you want to see the WS-TX changes do this: first go to the WSIT browser, then click on the changelog tab so you are here. Now the top-left graph is live; I knew the commit was not too long ago, so I looked for a big jump in the number of files and I clicked in that section of the graph. Browsing a bit around I found it. |
