Apache Axis2 1.5.3 Release Notes
About this version
1.5.3 is a maintenance release that contains the following improvements:
- Improved support for SSL when using the servlet transport: Axis2 can now be configured
so that generated WSDLs contain https endpoints (AXIS2-4465).
- Improved compatibility with Rampart (AXIS2-3213
and AXIS2-4870) and Sandesha2 (potential HTTP connection pool starvation).
- Axiom has been upgraded to 1.2.10. This version contains performance improvements relevant for Rampart.
- Application (business) faults are no longer logged at level ERROR (AXIS2-4280).
- Improved conformance to the SAAJ specifications. The 1.5.3 release contains a set of fixes and improvements for the SAAJ
implementation developed on the trunk and not included in previous releases from the 1.5 branch.
- Axis2 now relies exclusively on dependencies available from the Maven central repository, and no other Maven
repositories are required. This in particular fixes a build problem that appeared after the 1.5.2 release.
- The Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA plugins are again available for download via the Axis2 Web site
(previous 1.5.x versions could only be downloaded from the Maven repository).
About Axis2
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) are available via the Apache Web Services
project. Please see the individual subproject sites for further information.
