So I found your proejct while reading the performance link you posted. 
VERY Impresive.

I currently use Caucho's Burlap buecuase I do not have to map bindings. 
So I have a WISH: Is there a way that JibxSoap could support geenric 
maping of
List method(Map parms); //?
And List or Map could be a very complex and variable object, I just 
don't want to have to map the thing in xml for each variation.

At some point I'll add support to JiBX for automatic generation of the 
binding definition + schema from Java classes, and with some 
customization hooks that should be able to handle most things you throw 
at it. I'm not sure if that's exactly what you mean, though.

I'd also like to support the wrapped convention for remoting method 
calls as doc/lit in JibxSoap. Right now it only supports passing objects 
each way (a very literal interpretation of doc/lit, if you'll pardon my 
pun), which can be inconvenient for working with existing code (you'd 
need to create your own wrapper class for the parameters used by a 
method, and define a binding for that class). This is easy to handle on 
the server end, a little less easy to handle for the client since it 
means generating a class that exposes the method call.

Right now my priority is getting the base JiBX code to production 
release, so JibxSoap progress is probably going to be slow for a while. 
It's always possible that I'll get some commercial clients wanting to 
use it, though, and if money enters into the picture things can change 
amazingly fast. ;-)
