[jira] [Commented] (AXIS2-5959) Axis2 has dependency on "Commons HttpClient project", which is now end of life, and is no longer being developed.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5959?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16866835#comment-16866835 ] 

robert lazarski commented on AXIS2-5959:
----------------------------------------

We already support httpcommons4 , see the release notes from 1.7.0. 

 
Axis2 1.7.0 supports Apache HttpClient 4.x in addition to the no longer maintained Commons HttpClient 3.x. To enable the support for HttpClient 4.x, use {{org.apache.axis2.transport.http.impl.httpclient4.HTTPClient4TransportSender}} instead of {{org.apache.axis2.transport.http.CommonsHTTPTransportSender}} in {{axis2.xml}}. 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.
 
Those release notes are from 1.7.0 which was a few years ago, I am running httpclient-4.5.3.jar just fine.
 
Here's my relevant axis2.xml, hope that helps.
 
    <transportSender name="https"
                     class="org.apache.axis2.transport.http.impl.httpclient4.HTTPClient4TransportSender">
        <parameter name="PROTOCOL">HTTP/1.1</parameter>
        <parameter name="Transfer-Encoding">chunked</parameter>
    </transportSender>
 

It is confusing that we still ship with the old commons by default and distribute that jar.

[~veithen] is there any reason we could not remove all references to the old httpclient3 code in SVN?

> We are using axis2 version 1.7.8 ( *org.apache.axis2.osgi-1.7.8.jar* ) in our project, we can see that in this project pom.xml under <Import-Package> section, dependency on "Commons HttpClient project". This dependency is there in the form of *"org.apache.commons.httpclient.*,".* The same thing we have seen in axis2 latest jar 1.7.9. 
> Now as we know this "Commons HttpClient project" is already ended of its life long back and its no longer being developed. 
> So, please change this package dependency to Apache HttpComponents project in its HttpClient [org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient]. (httpclient-4.5.9.jar). 
> +*Note:*+ Right now we are supplying the dependency "*org.apache.commons.httpclient"* to "*org.apache.axis2.osgi-1.7.8.jar"* by "com.springsource.org.apache.commons.httpclient-3.1.0.jar". Now in Nexus vulnerability report "com.springsource.org.apache.commons.httpclient-3.1.0.jar" is showing as vulnerable. So we want to remove this jar. But after removing this jar "*org.apache.axis2.osgi-1.7.8.jar"* osgi bundle is not up due to unsatisfied dependency of package "*org.apache.commons.httpclient".* We have tried to provide the dependency by using httpclient-4.5.9.jar but this has different package hierarchy as it required in the form "*org.apache.commons.httpclient".* 
> So please change this dependency according to latest apache jar httpclient-4.5.9.jar.
> For Reference: Attaching pom.xml of Axis2 1.7.8 project.
