Sorry for the mess everybody - I assumed friday to be the last day (my =
mistake).

In terms of things already committed : These are changes to the =
serializer which
add namespace and/or namespace prefixes to various methods. They are =
overloaded
methods to keep backward compatibility with current stubs. So I would =
say the
risk is not too big. There was also some refactoring being done, but I =
did some
testing on the changes.

The part where I need more time are the stub/skeleton generator (which =
employ the
new methods) and the testing involved with it.
Maybe I should hold off the generator changes until after alpha, since I =
consider
them higher risk?

In terms of importance: Our current wsdl's break due to the lack of =
namespace=20
prefixing. Almost all more complicated doc lit wsdl's will have issues =
here when
they have data type nesting and arrays.

Carsten

Part of the solution has been already commited.
So we have to either hold off or comment out what is already commited.

How critical/important is this feature?=20

Is it practicle to tag the CVS and start on testing cycle till the
rest of the solution is commited.
Given that the solution is related to serializer, the risk of side
effects is high.

Thanks,
Samisa...
