Hi,
Is the possibility of upgrading to a newer version of Axis2 available (if
we are using an older version) ?
We might lose the granularity in the responses (currently we use custom
exceptions) if we switch to REST as the protocol between the components
(we'd have to use HTTP status codes, but they can be granular only up to a
certain level. After that we'd be down to String comparison). However w.r.t
both unnecessary complexity and convoluted development process switching to
REST sounds good. Shall we add this as an exploratory task for a future
release?
