JBossWS 5.2.0.Final is available

After some micro bug fix releases on the 5.1 stream, JBossWS 5.2.0.Final has eventually been released.
The latest versions brings a lot of component upgrades to WildFly, the most relevant ones being Apache CXF 3.2 and JAXB 2.3. Thanks to many other minor improvements and fixes in the stack, the result is that JBossWS 5.2.0.Final is compatible (and has been tested) with the latest final JDK 9.
Please have a look at the release notes for further details and give it a try!

Summer's nearly over..

Summer is nearly over and last time I wrote here was just before last Christmas.. definitely time for an update!

During the first half of this year we've been working on fixing reported bugs of the JBossWS 5.1.x series. There are some plans for kicking off the 5.2 development, but at the moment the focus is still on maintaining the 5.1 series.

Anyway, JBossWS 5.1.3.Final, 5.1.4.Final and 5.1.5.Final has been released and included in WildFly... hey, did you notice that WildFly 10.1.0.Final is out? :-D Go and download it, it's really worth trying it!

As a consequence of 10.1.0.Final having been released, WildFly master has moved to 11 and here we are with a fresh WS piece of news...
JBoss Wise is coming into WildFly! You can read more here, anyway what this basically means is that a GUI for testing WS endpoints is going to be available by default in WildFly soon.
Really nice, isn't it? :-)

Christmas 2015 releases!

Just few hours before the holiday break and here we are with the last releases of the year!
First of all, WildFly 10.0.0.CR5 has been released and will soon turn into Final assuming no major flaw is reported. You can read more on the release at wildfly.org!
Speaking of web services, yesterday I've tagged the second micro release of JBossWS 5.1.x series and today you can download it from jbossws.jboss.org. You might have noticed that we've released two bug fix versions this month: JBossWS 5.1.1.Final was mainly a bug fix release (but of course we also moved to the most recent Apache CXF version), while JBossWS 5.1.2.Final is basically a performance improvement release, cut just in time to include it as a last minute change in WildFly 10 :-)
As usual, have a look at the release notes for a detailed list of changes. The supported target containers for both JBossWS releases are WildFly 9.0.0.Final, 9.0.1.Final and 9.0.2.Final.

The year is almost over, time to relax, give the last WildFly 10 CR a try and then get back fully recharged in 2016 to play with WildFly 10 Final :-)
Greetings!

JBossWS 5.1.0.Final is available!

One month after the beta release, JBossWS 5.1.0 is eventually final!
This time, we have gone for a time-boxed release approach and limited the number of new features on top of previous release. The reason is that we really wanted the upcoming WildFly 10 to include the latest and greatest WS components. As a matter of fact, JBossWS 5.1.0 brings Apache CXF 3.1 series into the WildFly container; the latest Apache CXF versions, in turn, come with few performance improvements that we directly contributed to, while working on optimizing the whole WildFly WS stack.
On top of that and besides for a bunch of bug fixes, an interesting new feature has just been added to JBossWS 5.1, which is support for jboss-webservices.xml descriptor in EAR deployment archives. This allows setting a given behaviour of the stack for all sub-deployments included in an EAR archive packaged application, preventing the user from having to specify the same options in multiple jboss-webservices.xml descriptors.
You can have a look at the release notes for a list of the improvements and fixed issues.

JBossWS 5.1.0.Final is available for direct download and on both the JBoss and Maven Central repositories. The release documentation is here.

The supported target containers are WildFly 8.2.1.Final, WildFly 9.0.0.Final and WildFly 9.0.1.Final... and of course WildFly 10.0.0.CR1 and later will be including it by default already.
Enjoy!

JBossWS 5.0.1.Final and 5.1.0.Beta1

It's summer time, time for a break and for taking some rest... not really, as we released two new versions of JBossWS this week :-)

JBossWS 5.0.1.Final is a bug fix release, solving some issues that were found in the first version of the JBossWS 5 series. It also includes Apache CXF (3.0.6) and WSS4J upgrades that come with additional multiple fixes and security improvements. The target containers for JBossWS 5.0.1.Final are WildFly 9.0.0.Final as well as the recently released WildFly 8.2.1.Final and 9.0.1.Final.

JBossWS 5.1.0.Beta1 is the first milestone of the new webservices stack for WildFly 10, instead. While it drops support for Spring integration (jbossws-cxf.xml descriptor, which was not used a lot and causing confusion and problems), it eventually pulls the latest Apache CXF 3.1.x series. Of course, all the fixes in 5.0.1.Final are included in 5.1.0.Beta1 as well.
Additional new features are coming to 5.1.0 in the next months before it goes Final :-)

Summer time... time to get the latest JBossWS releases and give them a try ;-)
Enjoy!
