Microsoft BizTalk R11 CTP was released last week and now contains a sample that is based on GlassFish, Metro and NetBeans. Even though today is April 1st, this is not intended to be an April Fool’s Day joke. Read more about the sample in this blog entry. The relevant bits from the entry are quoted below:
The sample shows how to use the BizTalk Services Identity Security Token Service (STS) to secure the communication between a Java client and a Java service providing federated authentication and claims-based authorization. The sample, which you can find in ./Samples/OtherPlatforms/StandaloneAccessControl/JavaEE5 once you installed the SDK, is a pure Java sample not requiring any of our bits on either the service or client side. The interaction with our services is purely happening on the wire.
The Metro team over at Sun Microsystems has made a very significant contribution to making this all work. Before we started making changes to accommodate Java, there would have been very little hope for anyone to get this seemingly simple scenario to work. We had to make quite a few changes even though our service did follow the specs.
As a result of this collaboration, Metro 1.2 is going to be a better and more interoperable release for the Sun’s customers and the greater Java community and BizTalk Services as well as our future identity products will be better and more interoperable, too. Win-Win. Thank you, Sun.
Thank you Microsoft for adding this sample to the BizTalk Services SDK.
Metro team demonstrated a similar demo at JavaOne 2007. The demo shows how an Excel 2007 client can invoke a secure and reliable endpoint deployed on GlassFish. The entire source code for the sample, along with instructions to build, are available here.
This is possible today because of our participation in previous 6 plugfests (Mar 2008, Nov 2007, Jul 2007, Oct 2006, Mar 2006, Nov 2005) hosted by Microsoft.

Thanks for the link, Arun. I don’t want to sound too pedantic, but the thing we just shipped is actually the "BizTalk Services SDK", not the "BizTalk SDK".
