Excellent! David, thanks for the extremely quick turnaround. John - We should update Woden to use an Axiom nightly build until the next Axiom release so that we can pick up and test this change as we move forward. I've updated the Woden status file to reflect this change in dependencies.
Axis2 devs - Although tested it's possible this change may break an assumption you're making. Thought you should all be informed.
