Deepth,
First point -- don't confuse the reference implementation with the
specification. More details below...

The current JAX-RPC reference implementation only supports deployment within
a servlet. The spec says that it can be deployed in other ways.
Systinet WASP (which will add support for JAX-RPC in two weeks) can be
deployed as an embedded server within NetBeans/Forte, JBuilder, or Eclipse;
it can be deployed standalone in J2SE as an HTTP application or as an SMTP
client; it can be deployed as a servlet (it's most usual deployment
configuration); and it can be deployed as a JMS client or a message-driven
bean in a J2EE container.

Service discovery and registration (talking to a service registry such as
UDDI or ebXML reg/rep) is being addressed by the JAXR API (Java API for XML
Registries).

Have you tried creating a JavaBean to represent your application-defined
types? WASP can usually automatically map your types when given a JavaBean
