Hello everyone,
sorry if it's a FAQ: if so, I'd greatly appreciate a pointer to a web page.

I'm wondering which are the main differences among the 2 versions currently
available,

The main difference is that 2.1.x is based on the JAX-WS 2.1 spec and 2.0.x is based on the 2.0 spec.

There are other differences as well. 2.1 supports the javascript clients. 2.1 has an updated policy engine (although not much takes advantage of that yet). The Aegis databinding is more configurable in 2.1. 2.1 has an xmlbeans databinding. 2.1 has support for CORBA, etc....


and if there's a end-of-life date foreseen for the 2.0.x version.

Hasn't been discussed yet, so no. We continue to merge fixes for bugs onto the 2.0.x fixes branch.

Is the 2.1.x series backward compatible with 2.0.x ?

For the most part, yes. We do have a migration guide that addresses some of the issues:

Thanks alot,
Valerio
