| <h2>04 May 2006 - Apache Axis2 Version 1.0 Released!</h2> |
| |
| <p>[<a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/download.cgi">Download 1.0</a>]</p> |
| |
| <p>Apache Axis2 is a complete re-design and re-write of the widely used |
| Apache Axis SOAP stack to build on the lessons learnt from Apache Axis.</p> |
| |
| <p>Apache Axis2 not only supports SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2, but it also has |
| integrated support for the widely popular REST style of Web services: the |
| same business logic implementation can offer both a WS-* style interface as |
| well as a REST style interface simultaneously.</p> |
| |
| <p>Apache Axis2 is more efficient, more modular and more XML-oriented than |
| the older version. It is carefully designed to support the easy addition of |
| plug-in "modules" that extend its functionality for features such as security |
| and reliability. Modules currently available or under development include:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a |
| href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=wsrm">WS-ReliableMessaging</a> |
| - Supported by <a href="http://ws.apache.org/sandesha/sandesha2/">Apache |
| Sandesha2</a></li> |
| <li><a |
| href="http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/specification/ws-tx/#coor">WS-Coordination</a> |
| and <a |
| href="http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/specification/ws-tx/#atom">WS-AtomicTransaction</a> |
| - Supported by <a href="http://ws.apache.org/kandula/">Apache |
| Kandula2</a></li> |
| <li><a |

| - Supported by <a |

| Rampart</a></li> |
| <li><a href="http://www.w3.org/Submission/ws-addressing/">WS-Addressing</a> |
| - <a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2/modules/index.html">Module</a> |
| included as part of Axis2 core</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>Apache Axis2 is built on <a |
| href="http://ws.apache.org/commons/axiom/index.html">Apache Axiom</a>, a new |
| high performant, pull-based XML object model that was released two days |
| ago.</p> |
