Re: [soapbuilders] Re: Release plan of Apache Axis C++ version 1.0

Hi,
As gSoap does more than what is proposed here - that should be the standard 
metric.
   First I would make sure if the axis c++ client can talk to gsoap server 
at it's current level
  of implementation - stl usage, DIME(streaming), and perhaps ws_security - 
by the time
  the stable 1.0 of your release is ready.
