| Apache Axis2 1.8.0 Release Note |
| ------------------------------- |
| |
| * The minimum required Java version for Axis2 has been changed to Java 8. |
| |
| * The Apache Commons HttpClient 3.x based HTTP transport has been removed. |
| |
| * The HTTPClient 4.x based transport has been upgraded to use the APIs supported |
| by the latest HTTPClient version. |
| |
| * Because of the HTTPClient 4.x changes and also JAX-WS changes in the 1.7.x |
| series, users are strongly encouraged to update their axis2.xml. |
| |
| * JSON support now includes Moshi as an alternative to GSON. The JSON |
| documentation now includes a JSON and Spring Boot userguide with a WAR |
| application demonstrating Spring Security with tokens. Many bug fixes |
| in general. Any future growth of Axis2 depends on how well the community |
| responds to the increasing focus on JSON. |
| |
| * Source control is now via Git and GitHub: https://github.com/apache/axis-axis2-java-core |
| |
| * Logging is now via Apache Log4j 2 instead of 1.x. A large focus this release has |
| been on modernizing dependencies. Github Dependabot is handling this now |
| automatically. |
| |
| * As explained in the Spring userguide, Spring inside the AAR is no longer supported. |
| The rest of the Spring support is unchanged. |
| |
| * To improve dependency management, the data binding JARs have been split to |
| separate the code required at build time from the code required at runtime: |
| * `axis2-jibx` has been split into `axis2-jibx` and `axis2-jibx-codegen`. |
| * `axis2-xmlbeans` has been split into `axis2-xmlbeans` and |
| `axis2-xmlbeans-codegen`. |
| * `axis2-jaxbri` has been renamed to `axis2-jaxbri` (The JAXB-RI data |
| binding doesn't require any additional classes at runtime). |
| * There are no changes for ADB because the code was already split in |
| previous Axis2 versions. |
