[jira] Commented: (WSCOMMONS-86) Separate SOAP impl from core Axiom

Eran Chinthaka commented on WSCOMMONS-86:
-----------------------------------------

Interesting issue here. Well I also had a thought on this. First I take the blame for putting the SOAP stuff in to the core of Axiom, as we initially designed Axiom to be specifc on SOAP. 

Anyway, this issue raises some more issues. Now we do have three subprojects within Axiom, namely: axiom-api, axiom-impl (the llom impl), axiom-dom impl. If we remove SOAP stuff where should they go, ideally. Will this create three more subprojects axiom-soap-api, axiom-soap-impl, axiom-soap-dom?

Any suggestions for this?

> Some applications (such as Apache Abdera) which utilize Axiom as an XML Infoset implementation have no need for the SOAP classes.  Some mechanisms, such as the ability to set a DataHandler on an Element and have that automatically Base64 encoded is very useful and should be kept in the Axiom core, but things like the soap packages and mtom could/should be moved out to a separate jar.
