New features in EAServer 5.3
These features are new in EAServer 5.3.
Merge of Axis 1.2
EAServer 5.3 now supports Axis 1.2 final release. It is a Simple Object
Access Protocol (SOAP) engine—a framework for constructing SOAP
processors such as clients, servers, gateways, and others.
Axis makes EAServer fully compliant to Java API for XML-Based
Remote Procedure Call (JAX-RPC) and SOAP with Attachment API for
Java (SAAJ) from Sun.
The Axis 1.2 delivers the following key features:
• Speed Axis uses Simple API for XML (SAX) parsing to achieve
greater speed than earlier versions of Apache SOAP.
• Flexibility The Axis architecture gives the developer complete
freedom to insert extensions into the engine for custom header
processing and system management.
•Stability Axis defines a set of published interface, which change
gradually compared to the rest of Axis.
