Everyone,

I think this is a great idea, however could I just confirm that the bug to
do with accessing a JAXP debug security property (I'm sorry I can't
remember the exact line) that was stopping Apache SOAP working in
(non-signed) Java applets, and yet seemed a pretty easy fix, has been
addressed? It seems to come and go with different versions of 2.2, but I'd
just like the peace of mind of knowing that somebody has definitely fixed
it :)

Many thanks,

Richard.

Hi Sanjiva ,
           This makes a lot of sense to me . For folks that have been
using / certifying their applications with  the 2.2 release(and have not
yet adopted Axis)  , handling bugs / features introduced in future
builds means having to go through cvs and figure out exactly which files
changed and patch them in .
e.g i am still trying to locate all the files changed  to support the
switching the Current Schema version to 2001 .
Simply changing Constants.java does not solve the problem completely .

This is ugly and when customers are involved , there is the greater risk
that if they make their own
 changes in the 2.2 install to support their own app specific changes  ,
they might overwrite the changes shipped out to them .

Having a 2.3 release will bring in all such changes  over the last year
into one version .

Thanks -
Raghavan
