-<title>Apache Axis2 - Next Generation Web Services</title>
-<h2>Welcome to Apache Axis2</h2>
-
-<p>
-Apache Axis2 is an implementation of the
-<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/soap/">Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
-Recommendation</a> from the <a href="http://www.w3.org">W3C</a>. Axis2 can be used
-to provide and consume Web Services.
-</p>
-
-<p>From the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/soap/">W3C recommendation</a>:
-<div style="padding-left: 20px; padding-top: 5px; font-style:italic;">"SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized,
-distributed environment. It is an XML based protocol that consists of three parts:
-an envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in a message and how to
-process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined
-datatypes, and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses."
-</div>
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Apache Axis2 is an effort to re-implement both Axis/Java and
-Axis/C++ on a new architecture. Building upon the "handler chain" model
-developed in Axis1, Axis2 introduces a more
-flexible pipeline architecture which lends itself to greater modularity
-and extensibility. This extensibility will allow Axis2 to act as a
-foundation for a growing constellation of associated Web Services protocols including:
-<ul>
- <li><a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=wsrm">WS-ReliableMessaging</a></li>
- <li><a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=wss">WS-Security</a></li>
- <li><a href="http://www.w3.org/Submission/ws-addressing/">WS-Addressing</a>
-</ul>
-</p>
-
-<h2>Latest Release</h2>
-
-<p><b>12 August 2005 - Apache Axis2 Version 0.91 Released!</b> <a href="releases.html">(Download 0.91)</a>
-<p>Axis2 is becoming more and more stable. <a href="releases.html">Download it!</a> This 0.91 release is a glimpse of 1.0
-that should be comming soon. This 0.91 release contains the following additional
-features:
-<ul>
- <li>File Caching for MTOM</li>
- <li>SOAP Faults based on the SOAP version and better fault handling </li>
- <li>Different character encoding support</li>
- <li>Improved infoset support in AXIOM</li>
- <li>Improved code generation templates</li>
- <li>Numerous bug fixes</li>
- </ul>
-We are getting closer to a 1.0 release, the remaining tasks to be completed
-before a 1.0 release include: SOAP 1.1 and 1.2 validation, JAX-RPC 1.1/2.0 compliance,
-Complete XML infoset support for AXIOM, implementation of JMS transport, and Web
-Service Policy support.</p>
-
-<h2>Axis2 Background and Motivation</h2>
-
-<p>
-Axis1 was built under the assumption that other protocols such as WS-ReliableMessaging
-would be integrated into Axis1's handler chain. Axis1 had the concept of a
-MessageContext and a chain of transport, service, and global message handlers, but
-Axis1 lacked a clear extension architecture to enable clean composition of
-such layers. One of the key motivations for Axis2 is to provide a clean and
-simple environment for implementations of associated WS standards such as
-<a href="http://ws.apache.org/sandesha/">Apache Sandesha</a> and
-<a href="http://ws.apache.org/wss4j/">Apache WSS4J</a>. Implementations of
-associated standards should be able to easily interface with the base
-SOAP Message handling system. In summary, Axis2 has a more modular and
-flexible message handling pipeline, it focuses on the details of message handling
-and provides clear hooks for implementations of associated Web Services
-standards and protocols. This evolution will allow Axis to be a foundational
-technology for next generation Web Services.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Axis2 introduces a representation for SOAP messages called
-<b>AXIOM (AXIs Object Model)</b>. AXIOM consists of two parts: a complete XML Infoset
-representation and a SOAP Infoset representation. The XML Infoset
-representation provides a JDOM-esque API built atop a deferred model
-via a StAX-based (Streaming API for XML) pull parsing API. A key feature of AXIOM
-is that it allows one to stop building the XML tree and just access the pull stream
-directly; thus enabling both maximum flexibility and maximum performance. This
-approach allows Axis2 to support multiple levels of abstraction for consuming and
-offering Web services: using plain AXIOM, using generated code and statically
-data-bound data types and so on. Developers with demanding performance
-requirements will be able to use AXIOM to create highly scaleable Web Services.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-A third shift in Axis 2 is the de-emphasis of RPC-oriented Web
-Services and a shift towards more document-oriented, message style asynchronous
-service interactions. With Axis2, clients can interact with servers in a number of
-ways, and the client API provides both a blocking and non-blocking API. At the time of Axis1's design, RPC-style,
-synchronous, request-response interactions were the order of the day for Web
-services. Today service interactions are much more message-oriented and exploit
-many different message exchange patterns. The Axis2 engine architecture is careful
-to not build in any assumptions of request-response patterns to ensure that it can
-be used easily to support arbitrary message exchange patterns.
-Don't worry,you'll still be able to use Axis2 like you used Axis1, you'll just have a richer set
-of options for client-server interaction.
