[ANN][Axis2]Axis2 1.3 Released

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
 
Just over 4 months since the original 1.2 release, we are very proud
to announce the release of Apache Axis2 version 1.3.

Downloads are available at:
    http://ws.apache.org/axis2/download.cgi

Apache Axis2 is a complete re-design and re-write of the widely used
Apache Axis engine and is a more efficient, more scalable, more modular
and more XML-oriented Web services framework. It is carefully designed
to support the easy addition of plug-in "modules" that extend its
functionality for features such as security and reliability.

Modules supporting WS-Security/Secure-Conversation (Apache Rampart),
WS-Trust (Apache Rahas), WS-Reliable Messaging (Apache Sandesha) and
WS-Eventing (Apache Savan) will be available soon after the Apache
Axis2 1.3 release. Please see these projects' own sites for further
information.

Major Changes Since 1.2:
- - Moved to maven2 from maven1
- - Significantly improved documentation
- - Significantly improved support for POJO services and clients
- - Significantly improved Deployment module and custom deployers
- - Significantly improved support for Spring services
- - Significantly improved Axis Data Binding (ADB) to increase schema
  coverage and overall stability
- - Improved handler and module interfaces
- - Improved Eclipse and Idea plugins
- - Fixed tons of small and not-so-small bugs
- - Major code cleanup and improved exception handling
- - All the asynchronous MessageReceivers have been deprecated
- - Deprecating the introspection to find init()/destroy() methods on
service classes.
- - Deprecated the Callback interface
[http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis2/changesfrom1.2to1.3]
- - Added a new phase called "Addressing" and moved all the addressing
handlers into that phase
- - Name of the wsdl2java generated Exception classes changed.
  Earlier it had the Exception suffix and from Axis2 1.3 it has been
removed
- - Interface changed in ADB Datasource class
- - Classpath module loading support

Known Issues and Limitations in 1.3 Release:
 - Java2WSDL and runtime WSDL generation only support doc-lit/bare and
doc-lit/wrapped
 - Custom deployers only work in file system based repository.
 - POJO does not support HasMap , Hastable and Vectors.
 

Apache Axis2 1.3 is a major new release compared to Axis2 1.2. We are
striving for a simple and happy first time user experience as well as a
satisfying experienced user experience with this release. We welcome any

    axis-user@ws.apache.org (please include "[axis2]" in the subject)
    axis-dev@ws.apache.org (please include "[axis2]" in the subject)
