Apache Axis2 1.7.0 Release Note

Apache Axis2 1.7.0 is a major release that contains lots of bug fixes and improvements, some of which introduce backward incompatible changes with respect to Axis2 1.6.x (as described below). A complete list of JIRA issues fixed in this release can be found here. Note that some of these fixes have also been backported into Axis2 1.6.x maintenance releases; for more information, check the “Fix Version/s” field of the relevant JIRA issues.

Please note that generated code such as client stubs is generally not compatible across different major Axis2 releases. Therefore all such code needs to be regenerated when upgrading to Axis2 1.7.0. This applies in particular to code generated using the JAXBRI databinding which has been significantly improved.
