Completed Features List
- AXIOM, an XML object model working on StAX (Streaming API for XML) parsing optimized for SOAP 1.1/1.2 Messages. This has complete XML infoset support.
- Support for One-Way Messaging (In-Only) and Request Response Messaging (In-Out).
- Module Architecture, mechanism to extend the SOAP Processing model.
- Module version support, can have multiple versions of the same module and use them depending on the requirement.
- Context hierarchy
- Archive based deployment model and Directory based deployment model
- JWS like deployment (making Java class into Web service)
- WSDL Code Generation tool for stubs and skeletons
- WS-Addressing, both the submission (2004/08) and final (2005/08) versions
- WSS4J module for security (Apache Rampart)
- Improved and user friendly Client API
- WSDL2Java and Java2WSDL
- REST (REpresentational State Transfer) Support
- Transports supports: HTTP, SMTP, TCP, JMS
Raw XML & RPC providers

SOAP 1.1 & 1.2, and HTTP binding generation (?wsdl)
- Streaming Attachments support for MTOM(SOAP Message Transamission Optimization Mechanism)
- URL based deployment mechanism (starting Axis with remote repository)
- Unexpanded war support (location of axis2.xml and repository can be specified in web.xml )
- WSDL 2.0 fully support (reading, writing, and codegen)
- POJO – annotation
- JAX-WS integration
- JAX-WS -annotation
- Un-wrapping (Response)
- ADB - missing schema support
- Maven2 support
- JASON support
- Binary serialization
- Multiple services support in code gen
- HTTP code generation (both WSDL 1.1 and 2.0)
- Fix/update helper mode
- Custom deployer support
- Message formatters
- Message Builders
- EJB Provider support
Known Issues and Limitations
- Xml-beans databinding does not support response unwrapping
- ADB databinding does not support minOccurs and maxOccurs attributes in sequence and choice elements
(i.e) <sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"></sequence>
Unable to produce original WSDL in the case of WSDL 2.0, therefore the AxisService is serialized to produce ?wsdl2.
