Robert Lazarski resolved AXIS2-6095.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Hi Șerban,
This is fixed on trunk and will ship in 2.0.1. The grammar and generated
lexer now use a semantic
predicate so **/ (and any number of asterisks before the closing slash) is
handled correctly.
I wanted to give you a heads-up on context. We just completed a significant
cleanup of Axis2 —
removing 8 modules that were unmaintained or broken on current JDKs (Eclipse
plugins, IDEA
plugin, OSGi, JiBX, SOAPMonitor, Scripting, FastInfoset, WSDL 2.0). The CORBA
module was
specifically retained because of your active usage.
That said, CORBA is in a similar position to the modules we removed — it
requires an external ORB
since CORBA was removed from the JDK in Java 11, and you are currently the
only community member
we hear from. That's not a problem today, but I want to be transparent: if
the module has no
visible community activity over time, it will eventually be a candidate for
removal in a future
release.
The best way to keep it healthy is exactly what you're doing — filing bugs,
responding to issues,
and contributing when you can. If there are others in your organization or
community using the
CORBA module, encouraging them to subscribe to the dev list or file issues
would help demonstrate
that the module has an audience worth maintaining.
Thanks for the report and for your patience on the fix.
