For those ambitious students who are looking for a summer project with a little bit of monetary gain, I would like to draw attention to two projects which I have listed.

1. WS-Security for XFire: WS-Security is a specification to allow portions of SOAP messages to be encrypted. This project would involve adding support for WS-Security to XFire via Apache’s WSS4J library. The challenge would be integrating the two in a way that performs well and is friendly to the end developer. A demonstration of interopability with another SOAP stack would be required as an end goal.

2. WS-ReliableMessaging for XFire: Reliable Messaging provides a reliable communication layer over unreliable channels (such as UDP). With the adoption of Reliable Messaging in MS’s Indigo, this spec is hard to ignore any longer. A demonstration of interopability with another SOAP stack would be required as an end goal.

Why you should choose my projects:

• SOAP is fun, interesting, and challenging
• You’ll learn a lot because I’m going to spend a lot of time working with you.
• I’ll learn a lot (maybe more?) because I’m going to spend a lot of time working with you.
• XFire is the best Java SOAP stack out there! (but I’m biased)
• The projects are both very challenging, yet approachable.

So please contact me if you’re interested!
