ANNOUNCE: Axis beta-3 version ready for download

Hi all you SOAP fans out there!

Apache Axis (http://xml.apache.org/axis) has just released our third beta, on our way to a 1.0 release this summer.

Axis:

* Is a flexible, extensible Web Services framework for Java developers.
* Has an almost complete implementation of Sun's JAX-RPC and SAAJ specifications
  (we are currently working on passing the compatibility tests)
* Is easy to use (including "instant deployment" by dropping a Java source file
  into a webapp)
* Supports bidirectional WSDL<->Java generation, both via command line tools
  and automatically in the runtime
* Contains support for the new version of the DIME specification for
  attachments
* Contains preliminary SOAP 1.2 support (this should be fleshed out by the
  next release)

To download the release, you can visit http://xml.apache.org/axis/dist/beta3.

Please check it out, and send feedback to axis-user@xml.apache.org or
axis-dev@xml.apache.org.

Thanks!
