-<h1>WSO2 Web Services Application Server(WSO2 WSAS) @wso2wsas_version@
-Release Notes</h1>
-
-<h3>10th October 2007</h3>
-
-<p>WSO2 WSAS is the Enterprise ready Web services engine powered by Apache
Axis2.
- It is lightweight application server for Web services that
-incorporates leading open source components into a simple, easy-to-use and
-highly performant package.</p>
-
-<p>It supports Java components as services using both SOAP and REST models.
-Web services support include WS-Security, WS-Trust, WS-SecureConversation,
-WS-Reliable Messaging, WS-Addressing, WS-Policy, WS-SecurityPolicy and more,
-giving a full secure and reliable infrastructure that interoperates with both
-J2EE and .NET frameworks using open standard protocols.</p>
-
-<p>WSO2 WSAS is built on Apache Axis2, the popular Web services framework
-mainly developed by WSO2 engineers. WSO2 WSAS provides many value additions on
top of Axis2,
- making it a more enterprise ready product. It integrates other core Apache
Web
-services projects such as Apache Axiom, Apache Rampart, Apache Sandesha2
-, and Apache Neethi to form a production quality, comprehensive Web
-services server platform.</p>
-
-<p>An open source product, WSO2 WSAS is available under the <a
-href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html";>Apache Software
-License (v2.0)</a>. This includes all of the extra integration and management
-functionalities as well.</p>
-
-<p>WSO2 WSAS can be used as a standalone server or within a J2EE compliant
-servlet container. It also contains client components required to communicate
-with services. The support for WS-ReliableMessaging and WS-Security means
-that WSO2 WSAS is ideal for hosting B2B solutions, or building enterprise
-class integrated applications.</p>

- addition to this, the user cannot give associate any library dependencies
- or web content with the generated AAR file.
- <ul>
- <li>Due to limitations in Axis2, method overloading is not supported,
- and hence the WSDL for services where methods are overloaded cannot
- be generated. Hence all WSDL based functionality related to services
- will not work.</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
- <li>WS-Policy support is still in the experimental stage and limited to
- single port scenarios.</li>
- <li>You cannot have two different versions of the Apache Sandesha2 module
- in the system.</li>
- <li>A <parameter name="OmitSOAP12Action">true</parameter> entry
- has been added to the HTTP & HTTPS transportSenders in order to
- overcome some issues with some browsers. In case of interoperability
- failures, please change the value of this parameter to false and
- retry.</li>
- <li>The 'Try It' feature does not work for MTOM enabled services.</li>
- <li> Persistent Reliable Messaging support is experimental. Thus it might not
-provide QoS expected, during every possible interruption scenario..</li>
- <li> When daemon.sh is used in Gentoo kernel that runs on Intel processors
with 32/64 bit,
-users probably have to rename the native binaries with the proper name as
given in error
-message. </li>
-</ol>
