Upgrading to M6 from M5
- YOM has replaced with JDOM. You will need to remove your YOM jars from your classpath and add the JDOM 1.0 jar. This jar can be found here.
- The services.xml format has changed! Instead of assembling
services by parsing XML, we let a new tool,
XBean do it for us. This means you need to a
dependency on XBean and on the spring-core jar to your
classpath. To read more about how the services.xml format
works, read the
XML
Configuration page. The major changes in the format are:
- <xfire> is no longer the root element. It is <beans xmlns="http://xfire.codehaus.org/config/1.0">
- You no longer need a <services> element to wrap your <service> elements.
- The XMLBeans client support has been removed. Now we have a new Client API.
- The "service" property on XFireExporter and ServiceBean has been renamed to "serviceBean".
