+   the Axis2 Summit held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, a new architecture for Axis was
+   introduced which was much more flexible, efficient and configurable. Although
+   the architecture is new, some of the well established concepts from Axis 1.x
+   like handlers are preserved in Axis2. Axis2 comes with many new features,
+   enhancements and industry specification implementations.</p><p>After months of continued discussion and coding in this direction, Axis2
+   now delivers the following key features:</p><ul>
+<li><strong>Speed</strong> - Axis2 uses its
+                           own object model and StAX (Streaming API for XML) parsing to achieve
+                           significantly greater speed than earlier versions of Apache Axis.
+</li>
+<li><strong>Low memory foot print</strong>-
+                                          Axis2 was designed ground-up keeping low memory foot
+                                          print in mind.
+</li>
+<li><strong>AXIOM</strong> - Axis2 comes with
+                           its own light-weight object model, AXIOM, for message processing
+                           which is
+                           extensible, high performance and developer convenient
+</li>
+<a name="hotdeployment">
+    </a><li><a name="hotdeployment"><strong>Hot Deployment</strong> - Axis2 is equipped with the capability of
+                                        deploying web service &amp; handlers while system is up and
+                                        running. In
+                                        other words, new services can be added to the system without
+                                        having to
+                                        shut down server.Drop the required Web service archive into
+                                        the services
+                                        directory in the repository and deployment model will
+                                        automatically
+                                        deploy the service and make it available for use.
+    </a></li>
+    <li><strong>Asynchronous Web
+                Services</strong> - Axis2 now supports asynchronous web services &amp;
+                                  asynchronous web services invocation using non-blocking
+                                  clients and
+                                  transports .
+    </li>
+    <li><strong>MEP Support</strong> - Axis2 now
+                                     comes handy with the flexibility to support Message
+                                     Exchange Patterns
+                                     (MEPs) with in-built support for basic MEPs defined in WSDL
+                                     2.0.
+    </li>
+    <li><strong>Flexibility</strong> - The Axis2
+                                     architecture gives the developer complete freedom to insert
+                                     extensions
+                                     into the engine for custom header processing, system
+                                     management, or
+        <em>anything else you can imagine</em>.
+    </li>
+    <li><strong>Stability</strong> - Axis2
+                                   defines a set of published interfaces which change relatively
+                                   slowly
+                                   compared to the rest of Axis.
+    </li>
+    <li><strong>Component-oriented
+                Deployment</strong> - You can easily define reusable networks of Handlers
+                                    to implement common patterns of processing for your
+                                    applications, or to
+                                    distribute to partners.
+    </li>
+    <li><strong>Transport Framework</strong> - We
+                                             have a clean and simple abstraction for integrating
+                                             and using Transports
+                                             (i.e., senders and listeners for SOAP over various
+                                             protocols such as
+                                             SMTP, FTP, message-oriented middleware, etc), and
+                                             the core of the engine
+                                             is completely transport-independent.
+    </li>
+    <li><strong>WSDL support</strong> - Axis2
+                                      supports the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl" class="newWindow" title="New Window" target="_blank">Web

+   Web Service deployed in Axis2 needs a "services.xml" containing the
+   configurations. "services.xml" for MyService will be as follows.</p>
+    <div class="source"><pre>&lt;service &gt;

+   of the distribution and can be executed using the provided scripts (.bat or
+   .sh). The tool's parameter list is as follows and user can specify these
+   values depending on their requirements.</p>
+    <div class="source"><pre>Usage WSDL2Code -uri :WSDL file location
+     -o : output file location
+     -a : Generate async style code only. Default if off
+     -s : Generate sync style code only. Default if off. takes precedence over -a
+     -p : set custom package name

+     -t : Generate TestCase to test the generated code
+     -ss : Generate server side code (i.e. skeletons).Default is off
+     -sd : Generate service descriptor (i.e. axis2.xml).Default is off.Valid with -ss
+
+</pre></div>
+  <p>We will use the tool with the following parameters and generate the
+   skeleton and the other required classes.</p><p>Windows users can use the following command in the console:</p>
+    <div class="source"><pre>WSDL2Java -uri ..\samples\wsdl\Axis2SampleDocLit.wsdl -d xmlbeans
+                                  -ss -sd -o ..\samples -p org.apache.axis2.userguide

+
+</pre></div>
+  <p>This will generate the required classes in the <b>src</b> directory inside

+   Service.</p><p>Web services can be used to provide wide range of functionality to the
+   users ranging from simple, less time consuming operations such as
+   "getStockQuote" to time consuming business services. When we utilize (invoke
+   using client applications) these Web Service we cannot use some simple
+   generic invocation paradigm that suites all the timing complexities involved
+   in the service operations. For example, if we use a single transport channel
+   (such as HTTP) to invoke a Web Service with and IN-OUT operation that take
+   long time to complete, then most of the time we may end up with "connection
+   time outs". On the other hand, if there are simultaneous service invocations
+   that we need to perform from a single client application, then the use of a
+   "blocking" client API will degrade the performance of the client application.
+   Similarly there are various other consequences such as One-Way transports
+   that come in to play when we need them. Let's try to analyze some common
+   service invocation paradigms.</p><p>Many web service engines provide the users with a Blocking and
+   Non-Blocking client APIs.</p><ul>
+    <li><b>Blocking API</b> -Once the service
+                            invocation is called, the client application hangs and only gets control
+                            back when the operation completes, after which client receives a
+                            response
+                            or a fault. This is the simplest way of invoking Web Services and it
+                            also
+                            suites many business situations.
+    </li>
+    <li><p><b>Non-Blocking API </b>- This is a callback or polling based API,
+                                   hence once a service invocation is called, the client application
+                                   immediately gets the control back and the response is retrieved
+                                   using the
+                                   callback object provided. This approach provides the flexibility
+                                   to the
+                                   client application to invoke several Web Services simultaneously
+                                   without
+                                   blocking the operation already invoked.</p>
+    </li>
+</ul><p>Both these mechanisms work in the API level. Let's name the asynchronous
+   behavior that we can get using the <strong>Non-Blocking API</strong> as
+    <b>API Level Asynchrony.</b></p><p>Both these mechanisms use single transport connection to send the request
+   and to receive the response. They severely lags the capability of using two
+   transport connections for the request and the response (either One-Way of
+   Two-Way). So both these mechanisms fail to address the problem of long
+   running transactions (the transport connection may time-out before the
+   operation completes). A possible solution would be to use <strong>two
+                                                                     separate transport connections

+   ranging from pure blocking single channel invocations to a non-blocking dual
+   channel invocations. Let's first see how we can write a client to invoke
+   "echo" operation of "MyService" using the simplest blocking invocation. The
+   client code you need to write is as follows.</p>
+    <div class="source"><pre> try {
+      OMElement payload = ClientUtil.getEchoOMElement();
+    
+
+    
+
+      StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
+      result.serializeWithCache(new
+      OMOutput(XMLOutputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamWriter(writer)));
+      writer.flush();
+
+      System.out.println(writer.toString());
+
+      } catch (AxisFault axisFault) {
+      axisFault.printStackTrace();
+      } catch (XMLStreamException e) {
+      e.printStackTrace();
+      }
+      }
+
+</pre></div>
+  <p>The green lines shows the set of operations that you need to perform
+   inorder to invoke a web service. The rest is used to create the OMElement
+   that needs to be sent and display the response OMElement. To test this
+   client, use the provided ant build file that can be found in the
+   "Axis2Home/samples" directory. Run the "testEchoBlockingClient" target . If
+   you can see the response OMElement printed in your command line, then you
+   have successfully tested the client. </p></div><div class="subsection"><a name="PingClient"></a><h3>PingClient</h3><p>In the Web Service "MyService" we had a IN-ONLY operation with the name
+   "ping" (see <a href="#WS">Web Services Using Axis2</a>). Let's write a client
+   to invoke this operation. The client code is as follows:</p>
+    <div class="source"><pre> try {
+      OMElement payload = ClientUtil.getPingOMElement();
+      Options options = new Options();
+      options.setTo(targetEPR);
+      ServiceClient serviceClient = new ServiceClient();
+      serviceClient.setOptions(options);
+      serviceClient.fireAndForget(payload);
+
+      }
+      catch (AxisFault axisFault) {
+      axisFault.printStackTrace();
+      }
+
+</pre></div>
+  <p>Since we are accessing a IN-ONLY operation we can directly use the
+   "fireAndForget()" in ServiceClient to invoke this operation , and that will
+   not block the invocation, hence it will return the control immediately back
+   to the client. You can test this client by running the target
+   "testPingClient" of the ant build file at "Axis2Home/samples".</p><p>We have invoked the two operations in our service. Are we done? No! There
+   are lot more to explore. Let's see some other ways to invoke the same
+   operations...</p></div><div class="subsection"><a name="EchoNonBlockingClient"></a><h3>EchoNonBlockingClient</h3><p>In the EchoBlockingClient once the "serviceCleint.sendReceive(payload);"
+   is called, the client is blocked till the operation is completed. This
+   behavior is not desirable when there are many Web Service invocations to be
+   done in a single client application. A solution would be to use a
+   Non-Blocking API to invoke web services. Axis2 provides a callback based
+   non-blocking API for users.</p><p>A sample client for this can be found under
+   "Axis2Home/samples/userguide/src/userguide/clients" with the name
+   EchoNonBlockingClient. If we consider the changes that user may have to do
+   with respect to the "EchoBlockingClient" that we have already seen, it will
+   be as follows:</p>
+    <div class="source"><pre>serviceClient.sendReceiveNonblocking(payload, callback);
+
+</pre></div>
+  <p>The invocation accepts a callback object as a parameter. Axis2 client API
+   provides an abstract Callback with the following methods:</p>
+    <div class="source"><pre>public abstract void onComplete(AsyncResult result);
+     public abstract void onError(Exception e);
+     public boolean isComplete() {}
+
+</pre></div>
+  <p>The user is expected to implement the "onComplete " and "onError " methods
+   of their extended call back class. Axis2 engine calls the onComplete method
+   once the Web Service response is received by the Axis2 Client API
+   (ServiceClient). This will eliminate the blocking nature of the Web Service
+   invocations and provides the user with the flexibility to use Non Blocking
+   API for Web Service Clients.</p><p>To run the sample client ( EchoNonBlockingClient) you can simply use the
+   "testEchoNonBlockingClient" target of the ant file found at the
+   "Axis2Home/samples" directory.</p></div><div class="subsection"><a name="EchoNonBlockingDualClient"></a><h3>EchoNonBlockingDualClient</h3><p>The solution provided by the Non-Blocking API has one limitation when it
+   comes to Web Service invocations which takes long time to complete. The
+   limitation is due to the use of single transport connection to invoke the Web
+   Service and to retrieve the response. In other words, client API provides a
+   non blocking invocation mechanism for the users, but the request and the
+   response comes in a single transport (Two-Way transport) connection (like
+   HTTP). Long running Web Service invocations or Web Service invocations using
+   One-Way transports (like SMTP) cannot be utilized by simply using a non
+   blocking invocation. </p><p>The trivial solution is to use separate transport connections (either
+   One-Way or Two-Way) for the request and response. The next problem that needs
+   to be solved is the correlation (correlating the request and the response).
+    <a href="http://www.w3.org/Submission/ws-addressing/" class="newWindow" title="New Window" target="_blank">WS-Addressing</a> provides a neat solution to this using
+                                         &lt;wsa:MessageID&gt; and &lt;wsa:RelatesTo&gt; headers.
+                                         Axis2 provides
+                                         support for addressing based correlation mechanism and a
+                                         complying Client
+                                         API to invoke Web Services with two transport connections.
+                                         (Core of Axis2
+                                         does not depend on WS-Addressing, but contains a set of
+                                         parameters like in
+                                         addressing that can be populated in any means.
+                                         WS-Addressing is one of the
+                                         users that may populate them. Even the transports can
+                                         populate these. Hence
+                                         Axis2 has the flexibility to use different versions of
