[Springframework-developer] Spring Web Services 1.5.0 Milestone 2 released

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

Dear Spring community,

I'm pleased to announce that Spring Web Services 1.5.0 M2 has been  
released! This milestone release introduces:

* WSS4J-based WS-Security implementation, which allows for WS-Security  
on non-SUN JDKs (i.e. WebSphere) and JDK 1.4
* Client-side interception mechanism, including support for WS-Security
* URI-based routing
* @Endpoints are now @Components, so they are automatically picked up  
when using Spring 2.5 component scanning
* The JMS support now supports TextMessages, in addition to the  
BytesMessages introduced in 1.5.0 M1.

Additionally, there are other minor improvements and bug fixes.

Spring-WS 1.5.0 M2 is the second milestone in the 1.5 series, which -  
in addition to the aforementioned features - will
include support for WS-Addressing. The 1.5.0 series is 95% backwards  
compatible, though support for Java 1.3 has been
dropped, in favor of Java 1.6. As of this milestone, Spring-WS  
requires Java 6 to build.

The next release in this branch will will be 1.5.0 Release Candidate  
1, to be released around the 29th of February,
After 1.5.0 final has been release, there will be a 1.0.4, backporting  
all bugfixes in the 1.5 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>
