<h2>Release Notes</h2>
<p>These are the release notes for Apache WSIF 2.0.</p>
<p>WSIF (the "Web Services Invocation Framework") is a WSDL-based API for invoking
WSDL-described services. It has a pluggable architecture with protocol-specific
"providers" to handle invocations according to a specific protocol.</p>
<p>Apache WSIF 2.0 comes bundled with providers for SOAP (using Apache SOAP or
Axis), local java classes, EJBs, JMS services and applications accessible via Java
Connectors. WSIF also describes the specific WSDL extensions used to make these kinds
of applications accessible as WSDL-described services.</p>
<p>Here is a list of *recent* changes to Apache WSIF (note that this is the first
release, so this list of changes is not particularly illuminating).</p>

distributed
and you are ready to run WSIF (no source code except for samples)
<li><b>all</b> = bin + src
</ul>
<li>included samples to demonstrate invocation of SOAP service, local java and
service with complex types and documentation for samples.
<li><b>documentation changes</b>
factored out <a href="../readme.htm1">readme.htm1</a> into smaller pieces that are

updated doc/ with factored out info about cvs and requirements and improved build
