I've been using JAXB in conjunction with SAAJ to do SOAP web services.
It works, but in a clunky way. You need to schlep the JAXB objects into
SAAJ using a JAXBSource, which you can set at the envelope level. Which
means that you have to create JAXB mappings for the SOAP envelop schema
in order to integrate the two.
Once you get that in place, things seem to work fine... It would be nice
if there was more of an integration between the two...

Subject: JAXB and Web Services
JAXB gurus,
Has anyone employed JAXB into a Web Services architecture? This seems
like one of the most important potential benefits of JAXB to me --
custom
data serialization in web services -- yet I have seen nothing about it.
I would really like to hear about any JAXB (or similar) strategies that
anyone has used in solving complex data objects, such as an order or
application -- into and out of SOAP.
If you have them, examples always help :)
Regards,
Andrew Wellman
