| <h2>Apache Axis2 1.7.0 Release Note</h2> |
| <p>Apache Axis2 1.7.0 is a major release that contains lots of bug fixes and |
| improvements, some of which introduce backward incompatible changes with respect |
| to Axis2 1.6.x (as described below). A complete list of JIRA issues fixed in |
| this release can be found <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10611&version=12316136" class="externalLink">here</a>. Note that some of these fixes have also |
| been backported into Axis2 1.6.x maintenance releases; for more information, |
| check the “Fix Version/s” field of the relevant JIRA issues.</p> |
| <p>Please note that generated code such as client stubs is generally not compatible |
| across different major Axis2 releases. Therefore all such code needs to be |
| regenerated when upgrading to Axis2 1.7.0. This applies in particular to code |
| generated using the JAXBRI databinding which has been significantly improved.</p><section><a id="Changes_in_this_release"></a> |
| <h3>Changes in this release</h3> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li> |
| <p>XmlSchema has been upgraded from 1.4.x to 2.2.x and Woden from 1.0M9 to |
| 1.0M10. This is a backwards incompatible change with respect to Axis2 1.6.x; |
| application code that interacts with XmlSchema or Woden needs to be updated |
| to support the new versions.</p></li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Axis2 1.7.0 supports Apache HttpClient 4.x in addition to the no longer |
| maintained Commons HttpClient 3.x. To enable the support for HttpClient 4.x, use |
| <code>org.apache.axis2.transport.http.impl.httpclient4.HTTPClient4TransportSender</code> |
| instead of <code>org.apache.axis2.transport.http.CommonsHTTPTransportSender</code> in |
| <code>axis2.xml</code>. Please note that the code was written for HttpClient 4.2.x and |
| should work with 4.3.x and 4.4.x, but is incompatible with 4.5.x.</p></li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Several classes, methods and constants deprecated in Axis2 1.3 and 1.4 have |
| been removed. See <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5315" class="externalLink">AXIS2-5315</a> for more details.</p> |
| <p>As a consequence, MEP URIs in the form <code>http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/XXX</code> |
| and <code>http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/XXX</code> are no longer supported. |
| Instead use <code>http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl/XXX</code>.</p></li> |
| </ul> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li> |
| <p>The semantics of the <code>getAttachmentMap()</code> method in <code>MessageContext</code> has |
| changed for incoming messages so that they match those for outgoing |
| messages (For more details and context, see <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5308" class="externalLink">AXIS2-5308</a>):</p> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>For SwA messages, the <code>Attachments</code> object on the message context no |
| longer contains the root part (as in Axis2 1.6.x), but only attachment |
| parts.</li> |
| <li>For MTOM messages, application code should no longer assume that the |
| <code>Attachments</code> object is set on the message context and contains all MIME |
| parts of the message. Note that as of Axis2 1.7.0, this assumption is |
| still true (because the JAX-WS implementation internally relies on this), |
| but this will change in a subsequent release.</li> |
| </ul></li> |
