| <h1>Welcome to Apache Axis2 version 1.2</h1> |
| |
| <h3>@TODAY@</h3> |
| <pre>Just over 4 months since the original 1.1.1 release, we are very proud to |
| announce the release of Apache Axis2 version 1.2 |
| |
| 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) will be available after the Apache Axis2 |
| 1.2 release. Please see these projects' own sites for further information. |
| |
| Major Changes Since 1.1: |
| - WSDL 2.0 fully support (reading, writing, and codegen) |
| - POJO annotation (JSR 181) |
| - JAX-WS integration |
| - JAX-WS -annotation |
| - Un-wrapping (Response) |
| - ADB - support for union and list |
| - Maven2 support |
| - JSON support |
| - Binary serialization (Fast infoste) |
| - Codegen support for WSDL with Multiple services |
| - HTTP code generation (both WSDL 1.1 and 2.0) |
| - Custom deployer support |
| - Message formatters |
| - Message Builders |
| - EJB Provider support |
| |
| |
| |
| Known Issues and Limitations in 1.2 Release: |
| |
| - Xml-beans databinding does not support response uwwrapping |
| - ADB databinding does not support minOccurs and maxOccures attributes in sequence and choice elements |
| (i.e.,<sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"></sequence>) |
| - Unable to produce original WSDL in the case of WSDL 2.0, therefore the AxisService is serialized to produce ?wsdl2. |
| |
| |
| Apache Axis2 1.2 is a major new release compared to Axis2 1.1. 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 |
| and all feedback at: |
| axis-user@ws.apache.org (please include "[axis2]" in the subject) |
| axis-dev@ws.apache.org (please include "[axis2]" in the subject) |
