Flourishing

That's wonderful news about K. Have the two of you settled into a "routine," or is it all so new and different each day?

WSRR is a place where information about services is maintained -- not only the WSDL and XSD files, but also "meta-data" such as information about relationships between services. Further, the WSRR application is meant to be used as part of the overall service life-cycle. It serves a function something like UDDI, but with much more information and capabilities.

Under the covers it's really just a J2EE application that installs into WebSphere, with a DB2 backing database for the information. User access is through either a web interface or an Eclipse plugin; programmatic access is through SOAP or RMI.

Installing it is easy. The harder part, I surmise, is understanding the data model and making full use of it. That's about all I know right now.
