I don't know BlazeDS that well. What needs to be re-written to make a new turnkey war work? Will customers with existing wars need to upgrade them to use the Apache Flex version of BlazeDS as well?
I'm fine with moving stuff to an attic branch, but I'm just wondering if we're seeing warning signs of a backward-compatility problem that will hit BlazeDS users. -Alex On 9/5/14 10:30 AM, "Christofer Dutz" <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> wrote: >Ok so let me re-phrase my mail, > >there are a lot of testcases that will definitely not work with the >current build.
