GPL is viral, so you would have to release your app source as well as any XTS changes.
The EAP subscription thing is a red herring, since XTS is not yet part of the platform anyhow. -

bonio100 Jun 3, 2008 8:45 AM (in response to bonio100)So commercially, until this becomes part of the EAP, it cannot be used for a closed source secure proprietery application.
When is the next release of the EAP scheduled? Is this likely within the next 6 months?
Will the XTS code ever be relicenced unde rthe LGPL? -

correct

You want the official answer from product management or the one based on my opinion as a developer? :-)

Lets just say I'm currently looking for a tool that can do global search and replace on blocks of text across a source tree. -

bonio100 Jun 3, 2008 8:56 AM (in response to bonio100)Well, both from a developer and from product management. :)
At some point in the future we will need to make a decision to use this tech or not, but without a doubt we need to use WS-AT for .NET interop. It would be helpful to get a bit of a roadmap (no guarantees - I understand!) -

Do you need 1.0 or 1.1 of the spec and do you have any preference or requirements with regard to the web services stack at the JBoss end? -
6. Re: XTS + txbridge licensing
bonio100 Jun 3, 2008 9:06 AM (in response to bonio100)Not many preferences. We knocked up a proof of concept using the Bistro demo and a fairly vanilla JBoss 4.2.2, the XTS 4.2.3.SP7 libs for a transaction initiated by the MS DTC, I assume this was using JbossWS. Fow now, this met our requirements for simple atomic transactions across web service calls.
We don't anticipate doing anything more complex in this regard. -

jhalliday Jun 3, 2008 9:10 AM (in response to bonio100)Hmm well in that case you should probably be ok running on JBossAS 5.0 in a six month timeframe, but I'd allow a bit of extra time if you need the EAP 5.0 i.e. a support agreement, which you probably do in order to pass on that level of assurance to your own customers.
