The Apache Axis Project NEWS (March 31, 2004) : Axis 1.2 Beta is now available. NEWS (December 1, 2003) : Axis 1.2 Alpha is now available. NEWS (June 16, 2003) : Axis 1.1 Final is still the most recent stable release (read the release notes)! Apache Axis is an implementation of the SOAP ("Simple Object Access Protocol") submission to W3C. From the draft W3C specification: SOAP is a lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment. It is an XML based protocol that consists of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing what is in a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses. This project is a follow-on to the Apache SOAP project. Please see the Reference Library for a list of technical resources that should prove useful. 1.1.2. Axis 1.2 and beyond Axis 1.1 has proven itself to be a reliable and stable base on which to implement Java Web Services. There is a very active user community and there a many companies who use Axis for Web Service support in their products. For Axis 1.2, we are focusing on our document/literal support to better address the WS-I Basic Profile 1.0 and JAX-RPC 1.1 specifications. And we are fixing as many bug as possible. We can always use your help. Here are some links to help you help us: • How do I report bugs? • How do I submit patches to Axis? • Where can i get snapshots of latest CVS? 1.1.3.

WebServices - Axis - Overview Every volunteer project obtains its strength from the people involved in it. We invite you to participate as much or as little as you choose. The roles and responsibilities that people can assume in the project are based on merit. Everybody's input matters! There are a variety of ways to participate. Regardless of how you choose to participate, we suggest you join some or all of our mailing lists. Use the Products and Give Us Feedback Using the products,reporting bugs, making feature requests, etc. is by far the most important role. It's your feedback that allows the technology to evolve. • Join Mailing Lists • Download Binary Builds • Report bugs/Request additional features Contribute Code or Documentation Patches In this role, you participate in the actual development of the code. If this is the type of role you'd like to play, here are some steps (in addition to the ones above) to get you started: • Read Guidelines • Review Reference Library • Download the Source Code • Access CVS Repository 1.3.2. WebServices - Axis Page 4 Copyright © 2000-2004 The Apache Software Foundation All rights reserved. The Apache Axis Project 1.3.2.1. WebServices - Axis - CVS Repositories Most users of the source code probably don't need to have day to day access to the source code as it changes. For these users we provide easy to unpack source code downloads via our download pages. View the Source Tree Latest CVS sources can be viewed at http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/ws-axis/ Access the Source Tree (AnonCVS) So, you've decided that you need access to the source tree to see the latest and greatest code. There's two different forms of CVS access. The first is anonymous and anybody can use it. The second is not and you must have a login to the development server. If you don't know what this means, join the mailing list and find out. Anyone can checkout source code from our anonymous CVS server. To do so, simply use the following commands (if you are using a GUI CVS client, configure it appropriately): cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/home/cvspublic login password: anoncvs cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/home/cvspublic checkout ws-axis Full Remote CVS Access If you are a Committer and have a login on the Apache development server, this section is for you. If you are not a Committer, but you want to submit patches or even request commit privileges, please see the Jakarta GuideLines page (we follow the same rules) for more information. To have full access to the CVS server, you need to follow the links depending on the operating system you are using: • Unix • Windows 1.3.3. WebServices - Axis 1.3.3.1. WebServices - Axis - Mailing List Before subscribing to any of the mailing lists, please make sure you have read and understand the guidelines. While the mailing lists are not archived on Apache they are available at other sites, for example http://marc.theaimsgroup.com is pretty good and is used for searching below.
