Hi Glen,

The worse part of 1.2 is the ADB support, which has several major problems. I think most of those have been addressed in the 1.2 branch. Perhaps the ADB developers can supply more details.

The JAXB support was also pretty broken, and there again there have been some fixes on the 1.2 branch.

I implemented a couple of fixes and enhancements for JiBX data binding support, too, but that's not as much of an issue since JiBX users can download the latest fixes at http://www.sosnoski.com/jibx-wiki/space/axis2-jibx If we are going to do an Axis2 1.2.1 release I will change the JiBX version to the latest 1.1.5 release.

Finally, the known changes that break existing user code (like the module name as a string, rather than a qname) should all be listed on the main document page.

Aside from that, now that we have a test build of Rampart we can hopefully make sure that everything still works with Rampart plugged in. Then I'd think we'd be ready for a 1.2.1 release.

Hi Dennis:

I for one am totally behind a 1.2.1 release, off the branch, as long as:

1) There is a CLEAR RELEASE PLAN (i.e. which JIRAs are going to be fixed exactly)

2) No major new work happens on the branch, just bug fixes (and those bug fixes must be reflected on the trunk so the JIRA can really be closed)

3) We do it SOON.

If we can easily fix the "badly broken" parts with a process like that, let's do it! Otherwise, let's push forward and get 1.3 into shape, which will take a little longer but is essentially the same idea - figure out what we want in the release, slowly coalesce the work on trunk into shape, and then follow the release guidelines we agreed upon (and which I still need to get up on the website!!). And yes, then there's 1.4 to look forward to! :) Release early and often.

So let me ask you - do you think the current stuff on the 1.2 branch has already resolved the "badly broken" parts enough to release it? And if not what particular JIRAs would you fix there?

Hi dims,

I think it's been clear for some time that the 1.2 release is badly broken. If you really think the solution is a 1.3 release, and that that wouldn't break as many things as it fixes, then we should push to get one out quickly. And if 1.3 *does* break a bunch of things, well then there's always 1.4, isn't there? :-)

Sorry, am a bit frustrated today. See this for example:

We can't stop at 80%, last 20% is harder than the first 80 :(

Yes I agree this is a cool things and also a result of hanging around in
axis-user list.
Please see : http://marc.info/?l=axis-user&m=117993610523772&w=2.

I hope not allowing user to change the SOAP version, within a SOAP
engine is detrimental to Axis2. Having a property file to do it just an extension of it. I know we have tons of stuff in Axis2, which are either
not documented nor exposed. I take a part of that blame too :)

Thanks,
Chinthaka
