Updating SOAPTransport API [was RE: Ant build fails 07th march 2005]

[Samisa Abeysinghe <SA...@virtusa.com>]

Hi all,
	SOAPTransport API updating is a bit tricky as it is implemented
by many classes, 
ApacheTransport
Apache2Transport
SimpleAxisTransport
Axis2Transport 
HTTPTransport

	Hence adding a pure virtual function breaks the build if all
those classes are not updated.

	If the new API change is not required to be implemented by all
of them, I would propose adding a non virtual method to SOAPTransport
and leave the existing API as it is. Even if it is a signature change,
please keep the old one (for the sake of deprecating) and add the
signature change as a new add on.

Thanks,
Samisa...
