Dear Spring community,

We are pleased to announce that Spring Web Services 2.0 Release Candidate 2 has been released!

This is the second release candidate in the 2.0 release cycle. The most important new feature in this release is the update of the Spring-WS XML namespace, which now contains <sws:annotation-driven/> and <sws:interceptors/> elements (similar to the Spring-MVC namespace), and <sws:static-wsdl/> and <sws:dynamic-wsdl/> for exporting your WSDLs. All of these features are described in the updated reference documentation.

We consider this release (RC2) complete. If no major new issues are found, we will release 2.0.0-RELEASE in the first half of January 2011.

While we did make some changes, Spring-WS 2.0 should be a drop-in replacement for 1.5 with just one exception. Please read the forum post for the details.

Dear Spring Community,

We are pleased to announce that the second milestone release of the Spring Mobile project is now available!

Spring Mobile provides extensions to Spring MVC that aid in the development of cross-platform mobile web applications. The defining feature of the 1.0.0.M2 release is a "site switcher" that switches mobile users to your mobile site unless they have indicated a preference for your normal site. This is useful in applications that aim to provide a separate site for mobile users.

For more details on the site switching algorithm, see the Change Log.

To see the site-switcher in action, check out the lite-showcase sample application and watch its supporting screencast:

This milestone is the second in an exciting road ahead. We invite you to get involved in Spring Mobile development and look forward to your feedback!
