+1 to moving Axis2 to Java 5. With Woden currently at Java 1.4 (to support Axis2) we provide a type-safe API using typed arrays. We would prefer to use Java 5 generics.
+1 to previous suggestions about supporting existing Axis2 uses tied to Java 1.4 by rolling up trunk into an Axis2 1.4 release at Java 1.4, then doing a Java 5 release of Axis2. regards, John Kaputin.
