<b>Announcement</b>: JBossWS-Native stack reached EOL

<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Folks,</p><p>it's almost 2 years since JBossWS-CXF has been installed by default on</p><p>JBoss Application Server [1]. The integration with Apache CXF has been</p><p>working as expected and JBoss AS 7.1.0 achieved JavaEE 6 Full Profile</p><p>compliance [2] with JBossWS-CXF [3]. The transition to having</p><p>JBossWS-CXF stack as the default webservice stack is hence completed.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>As a result, the JBossWS-Native stack has reached end-of-life. Starting</p><p>from 4.1.x version, it is only being updated for the sake of supporting</p><p>the few functionalities (namely JAX-RPC) that are still internally</p><p>provided through it while having JBossWS-CXF installed on the</p><p>application server. Unless consistent contribution comes from the</p><p>community, there's not going to be any more JBossWS-Native binary /</p><p>sources distribution release at [4]. Previous JBossWS-Native releases</p><p>will stay available for download and use on the supported target</p><p>containers [5].</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>From the current jbossws-native svn trunk few new versions (4.1.x) of</p><p>JBossWS-Native libraries / artifacts are most probably going to be</p><p>produced and uploaded to the Maven repository, but those are going to</p><p>follow specific JBoss AS and/or JBossWS (CXF) integration needs only.</p><p>A 4.0.x contribution branch (derived from JBossWS-Native 4.0.2.GA tag)</p><p>has been created and is available at [6] for whoever in the community</p><p>will be willing to work on that (for instance for supporting future AS</p><p>versions).</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>This does not change anything from a product point of view; Red Hat is</p><p>of course still committed to fully supporting the JBossWS-Native stack</p><p>in the products already including it (e.g. JBoss EAP 5) as per</p><p>subscriptions contents.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Cheers</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>[1] <a class="" href="https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-15642">https://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossWSOnAS6M4ReleaseNotes</a></p><p>[2]</p><p><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/community/jboss-ee6-full-compat-1525034.html">http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javaee/community/jboss-ee6-full-compat-1525034.html</a></p><p>[3] <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://jbossws.blogspot.it/2012/02/jboss-application-server-710.html">http://jbossws.blogspot.it/2012/02/jboss-application-server-710.html</a></p><p>[4] <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.jboss.org/jbossws/downloads">http://www.jboss.org/jbossws/downloads</a></p><p>[5] <a class="jive-link-wiki-small" href="https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13569">https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-13569</a></p><p>[6] <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossws/stack/native/branches/jbossws-native-4.0-community">http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossws/stack/native/branches/jbossws-native-4.0-community</a></p></div>
