Axis 1.5 Release Notes

This is the 1.5 release of the Axis SOAP toolkit.

About this release

This is the initial release of Axis 1.5. Please kick the tires, put it through it's paces, and let us know via our mailing lists or bug tracking system if there are problems.

IMPORTANT - breaking changes!!

This release contains some changes that are incompatible with version 1.4. Please be careful. Particulars follow.

• In ProjectResourceBundle, we were overriding the static clearCache() method from ResourceBundle. In Java 1.6, this method became "static final", and therefore non-overridable. We therefore renamed the version that clears out our internal cache to "clearPRBCache()".

Change History

Here is the change log (a high-level list of changes). You can also read the svn change log (which lists actual diffs).

JAX-RPC

This release is intended to be 100% compliant with the JAX-RPC and SAAJ specifications from Sun. The Axis code has successfully passed the all of the JAX-RPC and SAAJ TCK (Technology Compatibility Kit) tests.

This version has passed the JAX-RPC 1.1 and SAAJ 1.2 TCKs.
