Hi Jon,

Axis RC1 still has many serious bugs that you should examine first.  If you are intending to use complex types or local time, at the moment you may be in a world of hurt.

I'd check the open bug list at http://xml.apache.org/axis/ especially #12803, #12833, #12758, #12636, #12753.

Apparently the Calendar serialization/deserialization problems will be addressed AFTER release 1.0.  See: bug #12541.

The licence issues are always interesting... maybe someone else can help you there.

Regards,

Neil Brennan

Hello,

The announcement of the RC1 release sent to this list (archived here:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-user&m=103125405205524&w=2

)

said that RC1 had "successfully passed the JAX-RPC and SAAJ TCK test
suites". 

The thread archived here:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=axis-user&m=102087024100627&w=2

seems to imply that passing these tests was the only obstacle to being
able to ship Axis (plus License) with commercial products.

Is that the case? If RC2 is good enough for our purposes, are we allowed
to ship it with our products?

Thanks,

Jon.
