On the IRC chat today, Glen indicated some reservations about this
interface as 1) it's not currently used, 2) Feature support is a bigger
issue than just async and 3) the way feature enablement/disablement needs
to work is an open question.
For a ___short term___ solution, I recommend moving this and all Feature
related classes into a package called org.apache.axis.features that will
be filtered out of the main build using the same compileime mechanism I
have set up for the IME packages. (in fact, I'm considering renaming
compileime to workinprogress in order to reuse it as a general mechanism
to signal whether or not work in progress components such as IME should be
compiled as part of the main build. This allows us to work on the new
items within the main branch without affecting existing code or
distributions). Anyway, over time, we'll evolve the new
org.apache.axis.features package into the proper solution while allowing
stuff like the IME to have something to work with in the short term.
