Since I posted my last blog there have been questions and concerns by our users about what's next? When is the new release going to be available? I indicated to be back in couple of weeks and I apologize it took more than that to get back with the dates for the next JAX-WS RI release.

Here is what has been happening -  being RI of JSR 224 (JAX-WS 2.1 MR) we worked closely with Doug to update the JAX-WS 2.1 MR change log and updated Javadocs to remove references to now-dead WS-Addressing WSDL Binding specification. This work is complete and the re-spun spec is submitted to JCP for 30 days review.

We plan to release JAX-WS RI 2.1.1 in the first week of May 2007 - around JavaOne 2007. See the JAX-WS 2.1.1 roadmap for details.

JAX-WS RI 2.1.1 is feature complete and is undergoing testing cycle for compatibility and quality. Things are looking good and we are looking forward to release JAX-WS RI 2.1.1 in the first week of May.

In the meantime, continue using JAXWS 2.1 nightly.
