I posted similar question earlier and it was met with similar silence :)
>>From other sources I'm guessing that JAXM is less and less popular and
need for unification of JAXB, JAX-RPC, as well as better XML handling
APIs for java in general (like pull parser or xpath over object model)
is a recognized and admirable goal, but so far there hasn't been a real
push for it.
Check out WebLogic8.1 and XmlBeans for an example of unified web
services and xml handling strategy that is very simple to use - although
it comes at a cost of being non-portable.

I've recently got my hands on WSDP 1.2 and am wondering about further
integration between JAXB and JAXRPC and JAXM.
For example, easily using JAXB objects in JAXM messages, along with
doing the same in JAXRPC. For example, having to go from a JAXB object
to a DOM tree to get it into a JAXM message isn't the most convenient.
And is far from an integrated XML solution.
I'm hoping Sun is going for a unified XML strategy between JAXB, JAXM
and JAXRPC. Can I look forward to a near future where I could describe
a type in an XSD, use JAXB to get a Java object binding and then have
JAXRPC and JAXM use the same XSD and Java object binding if I use the
type in a message.
