| <h1>Welcome to Apache Axis2 version @axisVersion@</h1> |
| |
| <h3>@TODAY@</h3> |
| |
| <pre>Just over 4 months since the original 1.2 release, we are very proud 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) will be available soon after the Apache Axis2 |
| @axisVersion@ release. Please see these projects' own sites for further information. |
| |
| Major Changes Since 1.2: |
| - Moved to maven2 from maven1 |
| - Significantly improved documentation |
| - Significantly improved support for POJO services and clients |
| - Significantly improved Deployment module and custom deployers |
| - Significantly improved support for Spring services |
| - Significantly improved Axis Data Binding (ADB) to increase schema |
| coverage and overall stability |
| - Improved handler and module interfaces |
| - Improved Eclipse and Idea plugins |
| - Fixed tons of small and not-so-small bugs |
| - Major code cleanup and improved exception handling |
| - All the asynchronous MessageReceivers have been deprecated |
| - Deprecating the introspection to find init()/destroy() methods on service classes. |
| - Deprecated the Callback interface [http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis2/changesfrom1.2to1.3] |
| - Added a new phase called "Addressing" and moved all the addressing handlers into that phase |
| - Name of the wsdl2java generated Exception classes changed. |
| Earlier it had the Exception suffix and from Axis2 1.3 it has been removed |
| - Interface changed in ADB Datasource class |
| - Classpath module loading support |
| |
| Known Issues and Limitations in @axisVersion@ Release: |
| - Java2WSDL and runtime WSDL generation only support doc-lit/bare and doc-lit/wrapped |
| - Custom deployers only work in file system based repository. |
| - POJO does not support HasMap , Hastable and Vectors. |
| |
| |
| Apache Axis2 @axisVersion@ is a major new release compared to Axis2 1.2. 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) |
