Apache WS-Commons is no longer officially maintained by Apache. This is a simple fork for the purposes of:
- Providing a new bug free implementation of 
org.apache.ws.commons.util.NamespaceContextImpl 
- The Apache WS-Commons source code was imported to Git from the archived SVN Apache WS-Common repository at: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/commons/
 
NOTE: This fork was created for our own purposes, and we offer no guarantee that we will maintain it beyond our own requirements.
NOTE: As the SVN release tags appear to have been deleted, we have tried to reconstruct the following git tags:
ws-commons-util-1.0.2contains only the original source code that we have inferred made up the last Apache release of WS-Commons Util.ws-commons-1.0.1contains only the original source code that we have inferred made up the last Apache release of WS-Commons Util and Java 5.
However, if you want an Apache WS-Commons that has been improved over the last Apache version, then this fork's artifacts are available from Maven Central as:
    <dependency>    
        <groupId>com.evolvedbinary.thirdparty.org.apache.ws.commons.util</groupId>
        <artifactId>ws-commons-util</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.0</version>
    </dependency>    <dependency>    
        <groupId>com.evolvedbinary.thirdparty.org.apache.ws.commons.java5</groupId>
        <artifactId>ws-commons-java5</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.0</version>
    </dependency>To release a new version for Evolved Binary to Maven Central, simply run:
