Axis provides a wide range of functionality. Most of the people who use it will not use all of its functions. Basic functionality is working very well. Limiting your use of the toolkit to a small subset of tested functions gives you confidence. Beta1 of Axis in my opinion was much more functionally complete and bug free than "PRODUCTION READY .NET 1.0" from microsoft. P.S. People who may care please note that opinion expressed is my own and does not reflect opinion of my employer. -Taras > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 11:51 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Hi > > > > Minor point - you're previously attached license does not > appear to conform > exactly - the wording is NOT what the apache license requires. > > Can Axis really be recommended for production use?
