JAXB Philosophy

Don't know whether the reason is the early time in the morning, but I have
some philosophical concern about JAXB and JWSDP. As its name indicates,
JWSDP looks oriented to development of server-side applications. Client
applications would be based on J2SE and the little XML technology bundled
in it. However, I find it could be very useful to use JAX-RPC or JAXB in
the client side, as a direct and easy approach to interact with a web
server. Are these technologies intended for this use? What could be the
appropriate way to integrate JWSDP technologies (probably only a subset) in
a client application? I mean, JWSDP default installation looks perfect for
bundling it with an application server, but is it also good for a client
application?
Thank you and congratulations for the JAXB team for the great work,

Juan
