WSRP Regression

WSRP Consumption suppoort in uPortal 2.x has regressed!!!!!

I've demonstrated it working in 2.4.2.

The same examples that work in 2.4.2 don't work in 2-4-patches tip.

In 2.5.x support is broken because the required axis.jar was removed in a perhaps overzealous attempt to remove warnings on compilation under JDK 1.5.

This page is to collect data about where it's working and not, documenting a reproducible way of testing WSRP support, and digging out of this mess.

Here's a fragment declaration for ALM and a couple channel publishing fragments for demonstrating WSRP support.
Add this to /properties/al/fragments.xml

A WSRP support fragment
	<fragment name="WSRP" type="pushed">
