Dear Spring community,

I'm pleased to announce that Spring Web Services 1.0 M1 has been released. 1.0 M1 is the first milestone of Spring-WS: a product of the Spring community focused on creating document-driven Web services.

Spring-WS 1.0 M1 includes a streaming SOAP message model based on Apache Axiom, WS-Security support that integrates with Acegi, JAXB 2.0 marshaller support, and many further improvements. It also contains numerous fixes for issues discovered since 0.9.1.

The main sample application in this release is an airline application, which shows the diverse ways of handling XML (including XML marshalling), and also contains an endpoint which uses a WS-Security Usertoken to authenticate against an Acegi authentication manager. The sample contains two clients: one in C# and one in Java, using SAAJ.

For more information, refer to the changelog.

The release can be downloaded here.

Cheers,

Arjen
