JAX-WS 2.1.1 RC1 is posted

I have just posted JAX-WS 2.1.1 RC1 RI. This is a candidate build that we are targeting for the JAX-WS 2.1.1 release. All the unit, SQE and TCK tests passing with these bits. In the next few weeks rigorous testing will be done with this candidate to make sure its ready for our final release.

It is tested to work with Glassfish Promoted Build v2 41a (Beta 2 Candidate 2) and Tomcat 5.x.

Please note that JAX-WS 2.1 MR (JSR 224) is out for 30 days review at JCP and JAX-WS 2.1.1 RI release is pending approval of this spec. The tentative JAX-WS 2.1.1 RI release date is May 7th.

Continue providing feedback to users@jax-ws.dev.java.net or to the JAX-WS Forum and report your issues and feature requests at IssueTracker.

Update to JAX-WS RI release

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.
