RE: Newbie: Using Axis for serializing/deserializing only

[Janarthanan Poornavel <jp...@orangescape.com>]

The Encoding and Decoding module(axis conventions ,I suppose) is not
independent enough to be used as standalone piece. If you could see
there is one class called SerilializationContextImpl which does the 
ground job of s*zng and des*zng the objects, which should
definitely suit the position of being a independent component, but it seems
It's tied with the Messaging component of Axis(The MessageContext
interface).Since the MessageContext of Axis is all about handling the
objects as a part of soap envelope it is an overkill for the actual purpose 
queried for(S*n and des*n).

I too would like to know if somebody could go ahead and say that it's still
possible to use the axis module for s*n and de-s*n.

Yep if you need schema support and are maybe going to be using the XML
in web services then xmlbeans look more like the thing.
