At the very least, just for version 1.0. There has been zero work done on implementing support for backwards compatible ser/deser and other components and I highly doubt that anyone is going to have the time to implement it before the 1.0 release (unless, of course, you would like to volunteer :-) ...). Perhaps for post 1.0, I'm sure we can take a look at this again but the primary emphasis there will be on performance and JAX-RPC compliance, and not necessarily on backwards compatibility.
Personally, I would have liked to see this completed, but never had the opportunity to focus on it. If some of the Apache SOAP devs have the time, they'd probably be able to do this much better than I would since they have a better understanding of what Apache SOAP needs. Once it's done, we can add the appropriate files back to the CVS tree. Until then, it makes no sense to have the code there. In the meantime, I still have the V2DD schema and DTD if you'd like to add it to the SOAP 2.3 CVS tree -- just to make sure it sticks around. - James M Snell/Fresno/IBM Web services architecture and strategy Internet Emerging Technologies, IBM 544.9035 TIE line 559.587.1233 Office 919.486.0077 Voice Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Programming Web Services With SOAP, O'reilly & Associates, ISBN 0596000952 == Have I not commanded you?

IMO that's a bit unfortunate, but not criminal as just being able to suck in a V2 DD doesn't do much good anyway unless you support the V2 ser/deser interfaces too. Just trying to understand the implication of this note. Also, if I recall this was a requirement for Axis V1- so you would need to change the requirements too.
