| <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. | |
