Axis2/C 1.4 released

Dinesh has announced the release of Axis2/C 1.4. The major change in this release is the change of default parser as Guththila. Guththila is a XML parser developed by Axis2/C developers which has advantages when using for SOAP. See this if you want to get an understanding of Axis2/C's performance when used with Guththila.

This release also has a changed on how Axis2/C httpd module deals with APR memory pools. In this release Axis2/C creating an APR local pool and it takes the ownership and deletes it when the request is over. We have introduced this because in a production environment to handle large requests this will be useful. But we still need to do a performance test on this.You are welcome to do a performance test between Axis2/C 1.4 and 1.3 when used with Apache2.
