| <h1>Welcome to Apache Axis2 version 1.1</h1> | |
| <h3>@TODAY@</h3> | |
| <pre>Just over 6 months since the original 1.0 release, we are very proud to | |
| announce the release of Apache Axis2 version 1.1. | |
| 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 | |
| 1.1 release. Please see these projects' own sites for further information. | |
| Major Changes Since 1.0: | |
| - Significantly improved documentation | |
| - Significantly improved support for POJO services and clients | |
| - Significantly improved support for Spring services | |
| - Significantly improved Axis Data Binding (ADB) to increase schema | |
| coverage and overall stability | |
| - Improved service lifecycle model | |
| - Improved JMS support | |
| - Improved handler and module interfaces | |
| - Improved Eclipse and Idea plugins | |
| - New Attachments API for sending & receiving MTOM and SwA attachments | |
| - Built in support for WS-Policy via Apache Neethi | |
| - Added support for unwrapping Web service requests | |
| - Fixed tons of small and not-so-small bugs | |
| - Major refactoring of release structure to make usage easy | |
| Known Issues and Limitations in 1.1 Release: | |
| - 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 | |
| Apache Axis2 1.1 is a major new release compared to Axis2 1.0. 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 | |
