Hi Ave,
There is no hard and fast requirement that module version and Axis2
version has to be the same. Only thing is most of the time modules are
tested with the same Axis2 version. So if Rampart 1.3 is working fine with
Axis2 1.4.1, nothing wrong in using it with Axis2 1.4.1. Please go through
the issues list [1] fixed for 1.4. The issue RAMPART-164 is now fixed in the
trunk.
thanks,
nandana
