-1.0</a>
-]</p>
-<p>Apache Axis2 is a complete re-design and re-write of the widely
-used Apache Axis SOAP stack, built on the lessons learnt from
-Apache Axis.</p>
-<p>Apache Axis2 not only supports SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2, but it
-also has integrated support for the widely popular REST style of
-Web services. The same business logic implementation can offer both
-a WS-* style interface as well as a REST style interface
-simultaneously.</p>
-<p>Apache Axis2 is more efficient, more modular and more
-XML-oriented than the older version. It is designed to support the
-easy addition of plug-in "modules" that extend their functionality
-for features such as security and reliability. The modules
-currently available or under development include:</p>

+1.0</a>]</p>
+<p>Apache Axis2 is a complete re-design and re-write of the widely
+used Apache Axis SOAP stack, built on the lessons learnt from
+Apache Axis.</p>
+<p>Apache Axis2 not only supports SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2, but it
+also has integrated support for the widely popular REST style of
+Web services. The same business logic implementation can offer both
+a WS-* style interface as well as a REST style interface
+simultaneously.</p>
+<p>Apache Axis2 is more efficient, more modular and more
+XML-oriented than the older version. It is designed to support the
+easy addition of plug-in "modules" that extend their functionality
+for features such as security and reliability. The modules
+currently available or under development include:</p>
+<ul><li><a class="externalLink" href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=wsrm">WS-ReliableMessaging</a>
