Apache Axiom Team is pleased to announce the release of Axiom 1.2.13. The release is available for download at:
http://ws.apache.org/axiom/download.cgi Apache Axiom is a StAX-based, XML Infoset compliant object model which supports on-demand building of the object tree. It supports a novel "pull-through" model which allows one to turn off the tree building and directly access the underlying pull event stream. It also has built in support for XML Optimized Packaging (XOP) and MTOM, the combination of which allows XML to carry binary data efficiently and in a transparent manner. The combination of these is an easy to use API with a very high performant architecture! Developed as part of Apache Axis2, Apache Axiom is the core of Apache Axis2. However, it is a pure standalone XML Infoset model with novel features and can be used independently of Apache Axis2. Axiom 1.2.13 contains fixes for over thirty JIRA issues [1] as well as lots of other improvements, mainly related to XOP/MTOM processing, namespace handling, DOM support, documentation and code quality. The most prominent change in 1.2.13 is that Axiom no longer uses its own MIME parser, but instead relies on Apache James Mime4J [2] for XOP/MTOM processing. This was done in order to support streaming of the content of MIME parts in XOP/MTOM messages: they can now be processed without writing them to memory or disk first. This also applies to the root/SOAP part, which in previous versions was always read into memory before parsing could start. For more information about the possible impact on existing application code of the changes included in Axiom 1.2.13, please refer to the user guide. -- The Apache Axiom Team [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12311190&version=12316677 [2] http://james.apache.org/mime4j/
