Regardless of when the change was made, there is a problem.
Looking at the axis 1.0 source distribution available from the website,
ParameterDesc includes the constructor:
ParameterDesc(QName name, byte mode, QName typeQName, Class javaType)
Looking at the axis 1.1 beta source, this constructor is missing
When I examine the CVS resource history for this file, it shows this
constructor being changed in revision 1.22.6.2
Although this change MAY have been committed before Axis 1.0 was released,
it apparently never made it into the released source. In fact, looking
back to the Axis 1.0 source zip, I see the file date on the
ParameterDesc.java file is 9/24/2002 which corresponds to file revision
1.22 on tags "pre-i4-merge, explicitHeaderWork, interop4, axis1_0"

Re: Another API breaking change
1.22.6.2 was done BEFORE 1.0 went out the door, so I didn't break any 1.0
code.
(Besides, the ParameterDesc constructor shouldn't be considered a public
API.)

PM Subject: Another API breaking change
Found another API breaking change that needs to be fixed. This one made
by
Russell Butek and involves org.apache.axis.description.ParameterDesc .
An Axis 1.0 constructor was changed in version 1.22.6.2. The appropriate
way to make this change would have been to depreciate the existing
constructor and to create a new one. Russell, can you please go back and
make the appropriate fixes?
