We are using Axis 1.2 beta 2 in our big Web services project. Our product management insist to use GA 1.1 release, since using beta product in the production environment is unacceptable.
This is a bad decision - 1.2 is much, much better than 1.1. If I had recalcitrant PMs, I'd just tell them that 1.1 was lower quality than the current 1.2beta and that it'd be too hard to port your code back to 1.1 anyway.
But this doesn't say anything about 1.2. Is 1.2 "good enough" quality to use in a production environment? Especially when it has the beta label on it?
Quite frankly, I've given up on using Axis altogether, and I'm using SAAJ. It's way lower-level, but it's well documented and stable, and I can build the features I need myself in much less time than it would take me to work around the bugs in Axis and figure out what it's doing.
Will.
