While i was working on enhancing Axis2 Performance, this caught my eye and absolutely made my day as my 3 year old is a huge fan!.

    if (ix >= 0) {
        if (!mFixContent) { // Can we fix it?
            return ix;
        }
        // Yes we can! (...Bob the Builder...)
        writeSegmentedComment(data, ix);

Just over 6 months since the original 1.0 release, we are very proud to
announce the release of Apache Axis2 version 1.1.

Downloads are available at:
http://ws.apache.org/axis2/download.cgi

Apache Axis2 is a complete re-design and re-write of the widely used
Apache Axis engine and is a more efficient, more scalable, more modular
and more XML-oriented Web services framework. It is carefully designed to
support the easy addition of plug-in "modules" that extend its
functionality for features such as security and reliability.

Modules supporting WS-Security/Secure-Conversation (Apache Rampart),
WS-Trust (Apache Rahas), WS-Reliable Messaging (Apache Sandesha) and
WS-Eventing (Apache Savan) will be available soon after the Apache Axis2
1.1 release. Please see these projects' own sites for further information.

Major Changes Since 1.0:
- - Significantly improved documentation
- - Significantly improved support for POJO services and clients
- - Significantly improved support for Spring services
- - Significantly improved Axis Data Binding (ADB) to increase schema
 coverage and overall stability
- - Improved service lifecycle model
- - Improved JMS support
- - Improved handler and module interfaces
- - Improved Eclipse and Idea plugins
- - New Attachments API for sending & receiving MTOM and SwA attachments
- - Built in support for WS-Policy via Apache Neethi
- - Added support for unwrapping Web service requests
- - Fixed tons of small and not-so-small bugs
- - Major refactoring of release structure to make usage easy

Known Issues and Limitations in 1.1 Release:
- - Unwrapping of response messages (coming in 1.2)
- - JSR 181/183 Annotation support (coming in 1.2)
- - JaxMe and JAXBRI data binding support is experimental
Apache Axis2 1.1 is a major new release compared to Axis2 1.0. We are
striving for a simple and happy first time user experience as well as a
satisfying experienced user experience with this release. We welcome any

axis-user@ws.apache.org (please include "[axis2]" in the subject)
