Just to be clear, I'm not against any of the recent changes :) ..There
were very good reasons behind them...
As for this release we need to do more external testing to cover up
our lack of unit tests..
For the long run, I certainly agree that we need more unit tests to
the Axiom, which is the heart of apache new generation WS projects...

thanks,
Thilina

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.
