| <h1>Welcome to Apache Axis2 version 1.1.1</h1> |
| |
| <h3>@TODAY@</h3> |
| <pre>Its been just over a month since the 1.1 release of Apache Axis2 and we are |
| happy to announce the release of Apache Axis2 version 1.1.1. |
| |
| The download is available at: |
| http://ws.apache.org/axis2/download.cgi |
| |
| Apache Axis2 is a complete re-design and re-write of the widely used |
| Apache Axis engine and is a more efficient, more scalable, more modular |
| and more XML-oriented Web services framework. It is carefully designed to |
| support the easy addition of plug-in "modules" that extends its |
| functionality for features such as security and reliability. |
| |
| Modules supporting WS-Security/Secure-Conversation (Apache Rampart), |
| WS-Trust (Apache Rahas), WS-Reliable Messaging (Apache Sandesha2) are already |
| avaialable. Modules supporting WS-Eventing (Apache Savan) & WS-Transactions |
| (Apache Kandula2) will be available soon after the Apache Axis2 1.1.1 release. |
| Please see these projects' own sites for further information. |
| |
| Major changes since 1.1: |
| - Performance improvements |
| - Bug fixes |
| |
| Known issues and limitations in 1.1.1 release: |
| - ADB does not support unwrapping of response messages(coming in 1.2) |
| - JSR 181/183 Annotation support (coming in 1.2) |
| - JaxMe and JAXBRI data binding support is experimental |
| - Simple Axis Server does not support POX/REST |
| - RPC Message Receiver does not validate request against the schema (AXIS2-1943) |
| |
| Apache Axis2 1.1.1 is a bug fix release of Axis2's 1.1 version, which was a |
| major release since Axis2 1.0. We are striving for a simple and happy |
| first time user experience as well as satisfying advanced users. |
