Hi Samisa,
AFAIK Commons projects are well fermented, well tested projects.
AXIOM/C, Util may be suitable to be moved there.
But XML Schema C and Woden C are not even finished yet. I suggest to
keep these two projects inside Axis2 C until they are matured within
Axis2 C.
thanks

Hi All,
As Axis2/C is growing, it would be worth considering breaking up
the independent components as separate projects and move those to WS
commons.
The possible components are:
1. Util
This has environment with allocator, log, error and thread structs,
containers (hash map, stack etc)
2. OM (AXIOM/C)
This includes parser abstraction, OM, SOAP and MTOM related stuff
3. XML Schema
XML schema parsing based on OM
4. WSDL implementation (Wooden/C)
WSDL parsing support for both 1.1 and 2.0 versions
5. Guththila parser
We would also like to have Sandesha/C and Neethi/C
The above has to be moved into WS-Commons project. The benefit is that
those who want to use them as independent components can easily use them.
If we are to move them, this is the right time, as it would be hard to
manage it looking at the phase we are developing the stuff.
There would surely be some concerns, e,g, what happens to prefix of OM
methods, do we have to change it from axis2_om to axisom? IMHO, we
better keep the current prefix.
Thanks,
Samisa...
