Robert Lazarski commented on AXIS2-6051:
----------------------------------------
I need to be careful on time estimates about Rampart 2.0.0 since nearly
everyone is a volunteer at Apache and I don't use it in my day job. We still
lack committers who do.
I'll have some time in May it looks like to work on it. We'll see then if a
release is as relatively easy as I think it will be after the recently released
1.8.0 that fixed all the _really_ hard stuff that took a couple years.
The good news is that I am using the latest OpenSAML a lot at my day job right
now and that is the main dependency in Rampart that needs to be updated to the
latest to support jakarta.
I created this Jira to track that Rampart 2.0.0 progress.

> Axis2 Future Roadmap in keeping up with new Java Versions
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AXIS2-6051
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-6051
> Project: Axis2
> Issue Type: Wish
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Jeff Thomas
> Assignee: Robert Lazarski
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> Related to AXIS2-6035.
> Hi Robert/Andreas/Axis2 Support,
> just a general question about the realistic future of Axis2 (and by extension
> Axiom/Rampart) in keeping up with the quickly changing Java releases.
> We are getting a lot of push from our customers (and our own internal wish to
> use modern java features) to move to java 17+ ... we are hitting more and
> more walls with things like:
> * java modules
> * javax -> jakarta migration // this is a big one!
> ** jakarta.activation
> ** jakarta.validation
> ** jakarta.jms
> ** jakarta.mail
> ** jakarta.jws
> ** jakarta.jaxb
> ** ...
> * Tomcat 10 +
> * and related stuff like
> ** ActiveMQ Artemis (jakarta.jms)
> ** removal of SecurityManager in JDK 19+
> ** etc.
> The sort of general feeling is that unfortunately we are getting pulled
> towards a state of complete incompatibility between Axis2 and current
> supported JVMs / other Frameworks.
> Maybe you can give a bit of feedback about the roadmap for Axis2 and
> addressing the growing gap in dependencies? (and would welcome any info
> about Axiom/Rampart along the same lines). Good or bad news doesn't
> matter...would appreciate having some concrete statement to address our own
> internal planning about the way forward. :)
> Appreciate any info you can provide.
