Upgrading Java Applications for Axis 1.4

The default Java toolkit in the current version (found in installation_location/sdk/java/lib) of the IBM® Cognos® Software Development Kit is based on Axis 1.4 instead of Axis 1.1, which was used in previous versions of the IBM Cognos Software Development Kit.

In Cognos Analytics v11.0 (and earlier), there is an Axis 1.1 version of the toolkit located in installation_location/sdk-compat/java/lib. If you have existing SDK applications that use Axis 1.1, you can continue to use them by including the .jar files from the Axis 1.1 toolkit. Alternatively, you can upgrade your applications to Axis 1.4. The required changes are described here.
