Re: [Mantisbt-soap-dev] using Mantis SOAP from Java without Axis1

[Alexey S. <al...@gm...>]

I have seen those connectors, but they didn't do what we needed at that
time, plus some of them required installing additional plugins inside bug
tracking systems, which is a deal-breaker for many potential users.
Plus not clear if they are supported properly. I'd be very happy to reuse
existing code instead of re-inventing a wheel, but sometimes you have to
 own the "whole stack" of technologies if you want to be able to move
quickly, you just can't wait for months for open-source projects to add a
fix or feature you need...
but I'll give those connectors another try and see what's new there.

on another subject -
What do you think about switching Mantis to REST API and implementing a
Java API for it?
