Hi Saminda, We'd like to upgrade to Axis 1.4, but we applied some patches to Axis 1.3 and we're not sure they work with Axis 1.4. Below is a list of changes we made: 1. In Axis2 1.3 all properties from sub-class are added before super-class when generating XML response, this causes incompatibility issue with .NET 2. We need to have control over xsd:dateTime and xsd:date, so we changed the serializer and deserializer for Java Date and Calendar. It's a pain that we have to patch Axis2 instead of configuring it as what we did for Axis 1. Regards, Mai Sun

As a production stand point, if the project contains the small units of axis2 dependencies, it will be very easy to maintain them and patch them if needed. Thus, I would recommend the usage of separate jars for your project rather using the axis2.jar itself. This is because it is maintainable and axis2.jar doesn't contain classes from all the axis2 modules. The newest version of axis2 release is 1.4 and it's better that axis2 1.3 :) Thank you!

We tried to add the following dependencies in our pom.xml: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.axis2</groupId> <artifactId>axis2-adb</artifactId> <version>1.3</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.axis2</groupId> <artifactId>axis2-kernel</artifactId> <version>1.3</version> </dependency> It only downloads the mininal jars for Axis2. What if we want to get a full version of Axis2? Is it just a matter of adding all sub modules from Axis2? Thanks a lot!

If you are using Maven 1.x, we would recommend you to switch to Maven2 instead. What you need in this case is Maven2 and war plugin. You only need to provide the axis2 dependencies in you pom.xml and rest will be take care by Manven2 with as transitive dependencies. With minimum dependencies of axis2-kernel and axis2-adb you'll be able to build the WAR distribution as you pleased using Maven2 Thank you!

In the Axis2 1.3 distribution there are 60 jars, do we need to declare dependencies of all these jar in our project or is there any easy way to get around this? Any suggestion is appreciated.
