[Springframework-developer] Spring Web Services Milestone 1 released

[Arjen P. <arj...@sp...>]

I'm pleased to announce that Spring Web Services 1.5.0 M1 has been  
released! This milestone release introduces:

* JMS transport support, for both client- and server-side
* Email transport support, also for both client and server
* Two new Spring namespaces, which drastically decrease the amount of  
XML to configure marshallers and typical Spring-WS constructs
* SOAP 1.2 Compatible WSDL descriptor generation
* Spring-WS jars are now OSGi bundles

Additionally, there are other minor improvements and bug fixes.

Spring-WS 1.5.0 M1 is the first milestone in the 1.5 series, which -  
in addition to the aforementioned features - will include support for  
WS-Addressing, WS-Security for the client-side and Java 1.4, @Endpoint  
component scanning, and more. The 1.5.0 series is 99% backwards  
compatible, though support for Java 1.3 has been dropped, in favor of  
Java 1.6. The next release will be 1.0.3, to be released around the  
21st of December, and probably the last bug fix release in the 1.0  
branch.

For Maven users, please note that this release is not published at the  
central maven repository. Instead it is published on Amazon's S3  
service, like all Spring milestones. To use it, add the following  
repository to your POM:

<repository>
     <id>spring-milestone</id>
     <name>Spring Milestone Repository</name>
     <url>http://s3.amazonaws.com/maven.springframework.org/milestone</ 
url>
</repository>
