This vote has been open for almost a week on cxf-dev and over 72 hours on
private@incubator.  I'm closing the vote.  

+1 IPMC binding:  jim, jgenender, jstrachan
+1 CXF: dkulp, eglynn, jliu, ffang, jma, jmao, gnodet, njiang, apaibir,
pjones, ubhole, blin, jgawor, ddiephouse
+1 Other: keyteem

No other votes.   Thus, 3 binding +1 and 15 non-binding +1 votes.   Thus,
this vote has passed.   We'll start the process of granting Karma.

Welcome aboard Benson!

FYI we've done that for Axis2 as well- a fully dynamic
serializer/deserializer that takes Axiom and goes in and out of IIOP. The
result is that we can post any CORBA object as a Web service and auto
generate WSDL etc..

The code is committed but is undergoing some changes to make it work under
the Axis2 client API as well - so you can point to a WSDL with a CORBA
binding and have the right stuff get wired in so that you can talk to it
using the ServiceClient API. (We're basically bringing all WSIF
functionality under the Axis2 APIs.)

Eranga Jayasundera (cc'ed) implemented this and is working now to finish
the client side too with Deepal Jayasinghe (one of the main axis2
committers). An article about this implementation will be ready soon too.
(Eranga did this for his MSc thesis for which I was the supervisor ..
which is my connection to this.)
