Re: [Babeldoc-devel] SOAP: missing Exceptions

[Dejan K. <dej...@nb...>]

Hans,
My opinion is that you should make your changes. soap is module that will be
used by less users than core. Also, it has not been tested a lot anyway. So
if you think we could make these things work correcty my advice is "just do
it!".
Pipeline stage and saop feeder servlet are separate parts of application and
using of first does not imply using of others. I want to say that it is not
too important that they should use same libraries if it is hard to change
servlet.

Dejan

P.S.
Bruce, you should add Hans to developers list. He has already done few
bugfixes and I think he will be helpful in the future, too. (Am I right,
Hans?! ;-) )
