We are using lots of components, like mail implementation from Geronimo project. But are they on Geronimo commons? Aren't we accessing them, even when they are within Geronimo? Is it a must to have them separate? So whats the problem of moving Axiom, Neethi also in to Axis2 project. As one said, a change in Axiom might most probably affect Axis2 as well. There are two more reasons I have *for* moving Axiom also in to Axis2 project *if* Axis2 becomes a TLP. 1. Axiom has a SOAP implementation which was done because of Axis2. If one needs to leave Axiom inside WS, during this movement, then some one please move the SOAP part out of Axiom. If the argument is Axiom is a pure XML object model so that others can use it, then please move out the SOAP part from Axiom. Please note that I'm not saying anything bad about Axiom having a SOAP implementation. We did it because we targeted Axiom for Axis2. 2. In another thread, it was suggested to make POLOKA a sub-project of Axis2, because i) it *will* have Axis2 compatible eventing implementation ii) and (may be) it is Web service based implementation. (please correct me if I'm wrong) If the argument for leaving some projects within WS project, and taking with Axis2 is about Axis2 dependencies, then why should we move Poloka (when it is graduated) in to Axis2. Its just another project, which has a *plugin* (as I think) to work with Axis2. if this is the case, then I will argue that Synapse also should come under Axis2. Abdera should come in to Axiom. I am seriously missing something somewhere. Thanks, Chinthaka
