Support for Axis 1.4

The WSDL file now supports Axis 1.4, which is now used by the default Java toolkit.

A version of the toolkit that uses Axis 1.1 is provided for backward compatibility for Java applications that were created in a previous version of the IBM® Cognos® Software Development Kit. This toolkit supports all the features included in this release. The Axis 1.1 toolkit is located in installation_location/sdk-compat/java/lib.

If you have SDK applications created in a previous version of the IBM Cognos Software Development Kit, you can either use the Axis 1.1 toolkit or upgrade the applications to use the Axis 1.4 toolkit. See Upgrading Java Applications for Axis 1.4 for information on upgrading Java application to use the Axis 1.4 toolkit.

SDK customers who do not use one of the SOAP toolkits provided with the IBM Cognos Software Development Kit must note the following changes to the WSDL file.

The changes are:

  • The elements in some types have been resequenced.

  • The attribute required has been removed.

  • The compositor xs:sequence is now used instead of xs:all.

  • Many elements now have the minOccurs attribute specified with value 0.
