Let me put some of my thoughts about blockers and releases.

According to the current rules, we have to have zero blockers to do a
release. So sometimes what we does is downgrade some issue according to
their criticalness. I think this is not a necessity.

As I believe deciding a blocker or not is up to the user. if he do not have
any work around and if he as block due to that issue it is ok to put this as
a blocker. So another person can not change it unless he can give an valid
work around or find an problem with the issue (according to some spaces).

On the other hand as developers we have some limitations. i.e Sometimes we
may unable to fix a blocker (i.e due to technical problems etc..) So there
may be issues which are blockers  but won't fix for the release.

What I am basically saying is this.
Lets say after an release (e.g .Axis2 1.2 ) we got 20 blockers and could fix
17 and 3 left.
if the last 3 going to take lot of time are we supposed to hold the release
until all are fixed? So that every one has to wait until everything fixed.
My guess is we should release with the fixed blockers  and with the new
features have added to the release. But one thing. For any release we can
not have broken features. i.e. which were worked with the earlier release
but not now.

This does not mean we don't do any thing about the reaming 3 blockers. we
can time to time try to fix this with different ways.

For an example in codegen there were some problems with the xmlbeans and adb
after Axis2 1.2. I could fixed most of adb issues and add lot of new featurs
as well (some issues regarding adb-codegen, codgen, wsdl) . But could not
resolve some critical xmlbeans problems although I tried them. So if someone
suggest to stop adding new features until fix all the xmlbeans problems, I
belive that is not an efficient use of time.

And also Since at close to a release everyone concentrating on fixing
issues, if someone report issues on an RC there is high probability of being
fixed them immediately.

Finally this is what I have to say,
As developers we must try our best to resolve blockers. mean time we have to
add new features to the product as well. otherwise it won't evolve.

Thanks.
Amila.

see my comment on this,
this wsdl is not valid according to the  WS basic profile.
see

if you use document literal binding you can not have more than one part
unless you delare one
in soap boady.
