Metro WSIT


Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT) is an open-source project started by Sun Microsystems to develop the next-generation of Web service technologies. It provides interoperability between Java Web Services and Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070128103821/http://java.sun.com/webservices/interop/features/index.jsp |archive-date=2007-01-28

It consists of Java programming language APIs that enable advanced WS-* features to be used in a way that is compatible with Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation as used by .NET. The interoperability between different products is accomplished by implementing a number of Web Services specifications, like JAX-WS that provides interoperability between Java Web Services and Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation.{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070128103821/http://java.sun.com/webservices/interop/features/index.jsp |archive-date=2007-01-28

WSIT is currently under development as part of Eclipse Metro.

WSIT is a series of extensions to the basic SOAP protocol, and so uses JAX-WS and JAXB. It is not a new protocol such as the binary DCOM.

WSIT implements the WS-I specifications, including:

  • Metadata
    • WS-MetadataExchange
    • WS-Transfer
    • WS-Policy
  • Security
    • WS-Security
    • WS-SecureConversation
    • WS-Trust
    • WS-SecurityPolicy
  • Messaging
    • WS-ReliableMessaging
    • WS-RMPolicy
  • Transactions
    • WS-Coordination
    • WS-AtomicTransaction
