<h1>Welcome to Apache Axis2 version @axisVersion@</h1>
<h3>@TODAY@</h3>
<pre>Four months after the 1.4.1 release, we are pleased to
announce the release of Apache Axis2 version @axisVersion@.
Downloads are 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 extend 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 Sandesha) and
WS-Eventing (Apache Savan) are available via the Apache Web Services
project. Please see the individual subproject sites for further information.
Major Changes Since 1.4.1:
- Refactored, pluggable transports (separate jars, with deployer)
- Clustering improvements (works with EC2)
- Over 100 JIRA issues resolved
Known Issues and Limitations in @axisVersion@ Release:
- Please see JIRA
We are striving for a simple and happy first time user experience as well as a
satisfying experienced user experience with this release. We welcome any

axis-user@ws.apache.org (please include "[axis2]" in the subject)
axis-dev@ws.apache.org (please include "[axis2]" in the subject)
