Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT) is an open-source project started by Sun microsystems, Sun Microsystems to develop the next-generation of Web service technologies. It provides interoperability between Web Services Metadata for Java, Java Web Services and Microsoft, Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). It consists of Java (programming language), Java programming language application programming interface, APIs that enable advanced WS-* features to be used in a way that is compatible with Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation as used by Microsoft .NET, .NET. The interoperability between different products is accomplished by implementing a number of Web Services specifications, like JAX-WS that provides interoperability between Java Web Services and Windows Communication Foundation, Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation. WSIT is currently under development as part of Eclipse Metro. WSIT is a series of extensions to the basic SOAP protocol, and so uses Jakarta XML Web Services, JAX-WS and Jakarta XML Binding, JAXB. It is not a new protocol such as the binary DCOM. WSIT implements the WS-I specifications, including: *Metadata **WS-MetadataExchange **WS-Transfer **WS-Policy *Security **WS-Security **WS-SecureConversation **WS-Trust **WS-SecurityPolicy *Messaging **WS-ReliableMessaging **WS-RMPolicy *Transactions **WS-Coordination **WS-AtomicTransaction
