AXIS2 MessageValidation and MessageInitialization phases

[U Gopalakrishnan <ug...@in.ibm.com>]

The architecture documentation of Axis2 says there is MessageValidation 
phase at the end of an InPipe and a MessageInitialization at the beginning 
of an OutPipe. But at run time I don't see messages going through any 
phases like that. So just wanted to know if these two phases are just 
virtual phases? For examples MessageInitialization is just a virtual phase 
without any specific handlers used to refer to the process of creating the 
SOAPMessage?

Also do we have any specific target dates for Axis2 1.0 releases? I am in 
the process of writing few articles on Axis 2, so just wanted check 
whether It will be good waiting for 1.0 release.
