10.7. Future Directions

At the time of this writing, the authors and others who have developed implementations are performing interoperability and composeability testing on the WS-Reliable Messaging specification. After the interoperability and composeability testing are complete, the developers will republish the specification and submit it to a standards body. They haven't chosen a venue yet.

The specification is expected to be leveraged so that it provides for a standards-based interoperability protocol to bridge the various proprietary JMS provider environments.
