But the dependencies are already there. You mean the scripts need updating IF we move to 1.2.1.GA_CP01 ? > My questions are: > > * Why isn't 1.2.1.GA_CP01 included? Nobody asked for it and I don't monitor all patches that go into all projects used by AS. Normally, customer or community requested fixes should be applied upstream to your "jbossws-branch-1.2" first, before checking that into a CP branch. Then we could use in AS a jbossws 1.2.1.SPx or a 1.2.2 version. Now, for luck of resources we could settle for a CP release, as well.

In the community version there is not really an issue of support. Nevertheless, there is the issue of backwards compatibility by allowing only point release upgrades for the libraries included with AS. > * If we fix it, I would go release of the 1.2.1.GA_CP01 code base. Not sure I understand.
