Atharva Gokhale updated AXIS2-6072:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
I have created this ticket to request the discontinuation of the usage of 
certain libraries that are being required to support the usage of the presently 
available versions of axis2. This mainly includes the dependencies from the 
rampart series including rampart-trust, rampart-core, and rampart-policy. Since 
these libraries are EOL since a long time and do not have any latest version(s) 
released since 6-7 years, it is challenging to address the security 
vulnerabilities posed by these and the other dependencies being used by these 
transitively. An important example of this is the requirement of the older 
versions of opensaml to in turn support the outdated rampart dependencies.

Thus, we wish to ask that when would Apache stop the requirement to keep using 
such outdated dependencies and update the code to make it compatible with 
respect to the latest available alternatives for an important resource like 
axis2?
