Hi Glen
Yes, I agree that Axiom should have had unit tests that failed - instead
of Axis2. But unfortunately as Axis2 had fixed the axiom version to
1.2.3-RC1 in maven and even those failures were not apparent in any of
the build reports. So if we are to make changes in Axiom, we should
revert the Axis2 dependency for Axiom to SNAPSHOT and make sure that the
build process would test the changes through integration tests.

Hi Asankha:
There are (at least) two issues here. One is last-minute changes,
sure (and I do agree that we should delay the release by a week or
so). The other, MUCH MORE SERIOUS ONE, is that we aren't adequately
testing our base libraries. If addressing got broken by a change in
Axiom, then it was clearly relying on something in Axiom which wasn't
being tested by Axiom. We need to be better about this - I previously
commented on this kind of thing in [1].
We have a lot of tests but we need to make sure that they are the
RIGHT tests.

I agree with Thilina, Last night I found out that the latest changes
in Axiom breaks addressing and alerted Deepal. A minor bug in Axiom
could lead to many issues and Addressing just seems to be one such
case. As soon as a broken Axiom appears in the Maven repos it spills
down to all smaller projects below and breaks the builds. More
changes pending in Axiom at this last minute could be good or bad..
but it certainly scares me a bit

Hi all,
I've been seen lot of changes happening in the Axis2 lately.. AFAIKS
the momentum of changes increased a bit recently Eg: QName, naming of
stubs, lots of AXIOM changes, WSDL2 integration, etc,etc...
I'm little bit worried about our readiness for the Axis2 1.2 release.
IMHO Axis2 needs a lot of testing.. I would also like to see couple of
more RC's too.. This is the same thing which happened for the 1.0
release, with too many late major changes it lost it's stability.. We
should always keep our 1.0 experiences in mind..
Personally I prefer delaying a release by couple of days rather than
going ahead with something which I'm not soo comfortable with... I'm
know this same paranoid feeling made the Axis2 1.1 release delayed
by days or weeks :(. But I prefer it that way..
Thanks,
Thilina
