Have InfoBus communicate between iFrames

We are using the InfoBus frequently and without problems. However when we try to communicate between ruihandlers running in a different iFrame the InfoBus fails. We also like to have ruihandlers from multiple EARs to be communicating with eachother.

Now a year and a half ago Chris Laffra created a sample project for making our requirements work. In this project he created a CrossIFrameInfoBusFix. Our request is to have this fix to be implemented in RBD.

I added the project Chris created to this RFE for reference purposes.

Idea priority High

    We have evaluated this request and determined that it cannot be implemented at this time because of strategic priorities.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - Servers and Systems Software
    Product family - Programming Languages
    Product - Business Developer

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
    Brand - Rational
    Product family - Design & development
    Product - Business Developer

    It would be great if this feature could be set for a certain scope.
    So the developer could decide whether an InfoBus event passes the borders of an iFrame or not.
    We have an application which consists of an outer frame which shows application module tabs. When a tab is clicked the appropriate application module is loaded in the iFrame under the tab. And it is possible to have serveral application modules opened at the same time. We do not want the InfoBus events from one application module to be received by an other application module (so those InfoBus events should be scoped to within the iFrame). While other InfoBus events are meant to communicate to the outer application frame (so those InfoBus events should not be bound to the iFrame)
