Hi Samisa,
AFAIK Commons projects are well fermented, well tested projects.
AXIOM/C, Util may be suitable to be moved there.
Is it the case that we only can have completed project in commons? I am
not sure on this. Even if that is the case, XML Schema and Woden are not
to be held within Axis2/C, so at least they have to be moved to a
scratch pad or a sandbox section in svn, for sure Axis2/C cannot have them.
I am specially annoyed at the fact that there are packing problems due
to long names of XML schema. This would not happen if it was a seperate
project. I really had a hard time packaging the release due to problems
casued by XML schema, I would like them fixed now rather than wating
till late.
Also we have to test them as independant project, with independent build
systems etc. Hence better move now rather than waiting till last minute.

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...
