Hi Amila, 1. From what I read I thought one of the issues (and an issue that I raised) was the large number of Axis2 jars. I understood from the conversation that's been taking place that the function in the many Axis jars would be rolled up into 3 (or 5) jars, not 3 zip (or tar, etc.) distros containing many jar files.
2. There are two Woden implementations: DOM based and OM (Axiom) based. Previously these two distributions were packed together in one jar but they've recently been separated to reduce the number of dependencies when using one or the other. (Adopters will likely want to use either DOM or OM.) The DOM jar is required if you're using the Woden DOM implementation. Likewise, the OM jar is required when using the Axiom based implementation. I should have been clearer in my question, does Axis2 use the Woden Axiom based implementation or the Woden DOM based implementation?

I take it your summary is for the Axis2 server bundle that's been discussed. Two issues: 1. Will the 5 Axis2 jars be rolled up into a single Axis2-server jar as has been requested and discussed? No. we are not going to shift as five modules. It going to be only three. 1. minimal distribution 2. full distribution 3. tools distribution the difference between minimal and full is that minimal distribution contains jars required for only basic set of use cases(as I have given earlier). It has both client and server jars. 2. You listed woden-impl-dom-1.0-incubating-20071018.161106-2.jar Woden has an Axiom based implementation that I thought was contributed to support Axis2. So is this an optional jar? Is the Axiom implementation not in use in Axis2? Axis2 uses the axiom. What I asked is, whether it is necessary to shif doom implementation as well. Amila.

I would like to discribe the minimal distribution as follows, It inclues the minimal set of jars which some one needs to creates a webservice using either 1. Contract first approach here we going to provide only the default data binding support 2. Code first approach POJO support and access them using the generated stub or RPCService client. Here he can use addressing since it is a basic we service spec and only with http transport. So the minimal distribution contains the following features 1. Codegen support with adb 2. POJO support 3. MTOM (when we includes the axiom and axis2 kernal anyway we get this) 4. Addressing 5. Samples ( only for above features) is this enogh or is there any thing to add or remove? As I guess here are the jars we need for that, Axis2 jars 1. axis2-adb-codegen-SNAPSHOT.jar 2. axis2-adb-SNAPSHOT.jar 3. axis2-codegen-SNAPSHOT.jar 4. axis2-java2wsdl-SNAPSHOT.jar 5. axis2-kernel-SNAPSHOT.jar ws jars 1. axiom-api-20071017.164440-781.jar 2. axiom-impl-20071017.164440-780.jar ( (do we need axiom-dom-20071017.164440-780.jar?) 3. neethi-20071017.164823-761.jar 4. woden-api-1.0-incubating-20071018.161106-2.jar 5. woden-impl-dom-1.0-incubating-20071018.161106-2.jar 6. wsdl4j-1.6.2.jar 7. XmlSchema-SNAPSHOT.jar other jars 1. activation-1.1.jar 2. annogen-0.1.0.jar 3. backport-util-concurrent-2.2.jar 4. commons-codec-1.3.jar 5. commons-fileupload-1.1.1.jar 6. commons-httpclient-3.0.1.jar 7. commons-io-1.2.jar 8. commons-logging-1.1.jar 9. geronimo-annotation_1.0_spec-1.1.jar 10. geronimo-stax-api_1.0_spec- 1.0.jar 11. httpcore-4.0-alpha5.jar 12. httpcore-nio-4.0-alpha5.jar 13. httpcore-niossl-4.0-alpha5.jar 14. jalopy-1.5rc3.jar 15. jaxen-1.1.1.jar 16. jettison-1.0-RC1.jar 17. log4j-1.2.14.jar 18. stax-api-1.0.1.jar 19. wstx-asl-3.2.1.jar 20. xalan-2.7.0.jar 21. xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar 22. xml-apis-1.3.03.jar Are there any thing to add or remove? Here any way 34 jars are there. and we have left 24 jars. thanks, Amila.

We discussed this packaging issues couple of times and changed packaging couple of time. When Axis2 evolves and we get more insight in to user experience, we might want to change ourselves to cater for this requirements. I myself found it bit difficult/confused to use Axis2 once as a user. That is why I am proposing sth like this. Yes, let's discuss about this. And we might also want to revise this once the next release manager (Amila will it be you ;) ) try to implement this packaging proposal. So are we agreed to this three level distro?
