RE: FYI: JXTA based ebXML Project -- Additional Information

This project is being run out the jxta community. Chia Chang chia.chang@sun.com is leading the effort. I started monitoring jxta-discussion, a while back, in hopes that something like this would happen. I think that it is a good combination of technologies and provides the potential to reach SME’s.

This project use JXTA technology as the core infrastructure and open sources from other resources as the utilities to build the ebXML framework. This p2p-based ebXML framework based on JXTA will enable a peer-to-peer global electronic market to meet and conduct business through the exchange of XML-based messages.

This project is a multi-staged effort to scope, specify, architect and implement an peer-to-peer ebXML framework based on JXTA.
