The way you have proposed wouldn't include the patched jar in Maven2 test classpath and there is a probability that existing functions might break due to these new fixes and it has to be tested. If it can be guaranteed that existing functionality of Axis2/WSAS/etc wouldn't break, I would encourage you to use the patched approach.

The patches that we will need are by no means major changes. They are simple bug fixes Such as https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-3819 which causes issues for generated stubs (When the stub is generated off a WSDL 1.1 which has multiple parts).

I agree with you with regard to the maven class path issue though. We will have to find a workaround for that. We don't plan to ship a complete patched jar but rather the diff only.

Thanks,
Keith.

Thank you!

The next release of the Mashup Server will be based on WSAS 2.3. WSAS includes a patched version of Axis2. These couple of issues that I'm referring to was uncovered after the WSAS release. So this patch will be applied on top of the axis2 jar that WSAS shipped. We will drop this patch (will will have just a class or 2) into the patches folder.

Thanks,
Keith.

I thought we built a specific release of the component with a number and a fixed revision. Or is that not appropriate in this scenario?

Is this the way WSAS and other projects deliver patches?

What the ESB team had done this far is to check in the patch it self (the binary) into the svn. So the build will just pick that up and drop it into the distro. The issue is that the source is not available anywhere in that case. With the solution I propose the source is available in the released source zip and we get the patch as well. May be this is something that all projects should adopt.

Thanks,
Keith.

 If so, +1.

Subject: [mashup-dev] Axis2 patches needed for the next release

Hi,

There are a few JIRAS that require Axis2 fixes (Mashup-859, Mashup-
701).
I would like these fixes to go into the next release. We can ship these
as patches in the patches directory.

How about managing this as follows.

1. Put in a new module called patches and drop the src of the patch in
there
2. At build time create a jar from the source in the patches dir and
include it in the patches directory of the distribution

Shall I get this into the build? WDYT?

Thanks,
Keith.
