hi Jeremy,

i read the documentation from Tuscany and external SCA spec etc (the 
most useful was "Building Your First Application - Simplified BigBank") 
and i still do not see how it can be used in way WSIF is used - where is 
Tuscany client side WSDL based API described or declaring WSDL in 
sca.module/externalService/binding.ws is required for all client access 
to WSDL described services in Tuscany (that would not be very dynamic 
but maybe there are other ways to do it)?

thanks,

alek
