[provision] JMS provisioning (nothing about the GW Proposal)...

In a refreshing change from my previous posts, this one has
nothing to do with the GW Proposal. 

 

I ran across this article in JavaWorld
this morning. It is a description of an XML/JMS based provisioning framework. Obviously
this implementation is very simplistic, but it points out a powerful idea.

Our currently proposed bindings are SOAP/HTTP and File.
After we release the 1.0 spec, I think the next version should include a
SOAP/JMS Binding. Or perhaps a plain old SPML/JMS Binding, but obviously that
is not very trendy. I think the asynchronous request model we have in place
would work well in such a system, but there may need to be more tweaks
required.

 

I’m not raising an issue, just food for thought.
