Tom and Davanum, First, thanks for your feedback regarding ‘compatability
problems’…..Sorry I haven’t replied – fighting other
fires since I wasn’t getting anywere w/axis. Tom, Thank the CF team for the update to
axis 1.2.1 final – I see the update is available and our IT manager is
going to install it today. So…I will be troubleshooting this
problem beginning today and will provide feedback regarding the experience… Thanks, Kurt From: Tom Jordahl
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that the latest version of ColdFusion
MX (7) has the latest version of Axis (1.2.1). The previous version of ColdFusion MX
(6.1) has the previous release of Axis - 1.1. I would also be very interested in what problems
you have encountered, and how you expect other web service stacks to avoid
them. Speaking as a Macromedia employee, why are
you moving away from CF? -- From: Kurt Olsen
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Folks, As you continue axis development I wanted to share the
experience the developers at our co. are having with axis. We’re sorry to report that even though axis is a
powertool, and we like it – we are about ‘’ that close to
abandoning it when communicating with soap services due to compatability issues
when doing system upgrades etc. For a long time our application server was/is coldfusion,
which includes axis. We are in the process of migrating off of coldfusion into
a jboss environment but we’re moving the server side code first, and
before long we’ll be completely off of coldfusion. Meanwhile, every time we have to go thru a systems evolution
we have to fight, and fight hard with the axis stuff. All manner of incompatability problems. I know there
aren’t easy solutions to this kind of thing but there it is. Out of the 20 something jars scattered about in our system
the majority of them interoperate/upgrade with few or no difficultions. Axis unfortunately stands out as something that keeps biting
back, and ends up causing us a lot of difficulty when things change. None of us here is an axis expert per-se, we just want to
use it to make our lives easier, but these compatability issues have irritated
most everyone here, and we’ve been yanking axis out of the
system….. This isn’t meant as a criticism per-se, but hopefully
this feedback from the field can be used when going forward with your
development. Thanks for listening, Kurt |
