Hi all:
The Apache Axis2 team is pleased to announce the release of Axis2 version 1.5.1.
Major Changes Since 1.5:
* Fix for the dreaded "CLOSE_WAIT" problem (JIRA issues 935, 2883, etc).
We now share an instance of HTTPClient across each ConfigurationContext (i.e.
each Axis2 server or ServiceClient) - connection reuse is now automatic. This
means the REUSE_HTTP_CLIENT flag is no longer necessary or useful, nor is
creating your own MultithreadedHttpConnectionManager. We also now throw a
useful exception after 30 seconds if you DO run into connection starvation
issues.
* Transport deployer is now actually functional, and getListenerManager()
in ConfigurationContext now creates a new LM if there isn't one already.
* Fix for AXIS2-4034, module versions now support real versions like "1.5.1"
* NPE problem (see AXIS2-4114) fixed in MessageContext while retrieving
policy.
You can find the new version at the usual location:
http://ws.apache.org/axis2
(please note that it may be an hour or two before all the mirrors update)
Please report any issues via JIRA:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2.
As always, we welcome any and all feedback at:
axis-...@ws.apache.org - for developer-related questions/concerns
axis-user@ws.apache.org - for general questions, usage, etc.
Also, don't forget that ApacheCon 2009 is around the corner, November 2-6 in
Oakland CA! Many of the Axis2 / Apache Web Services developers will be on
hand, and we're running a track day for the project on Thursday. We hope to
see you there.

Thanks for your interest in Apache Axis2!
