I definitely agree that start-from-Java can be very useful, Robert. I'm
planning to work on adding support for my JiBX data binding framework
(http://www.jibx.org) to Axis2, starting after the next release. I think
JiBX is one of the nicest start-from-Java frameworks around, though it's
also being extended to better support start-from-schema.

Actually, even if Glen's doing an "old style" data binder, I would say
that does not in any way preclude doing a dynamic start-from-java binder
in any way. If yours comes out better we can figure out how to make it
be default.
i'm a big xmlbeans fan and think it's a good match for axis2. there
are a couple of use cases where i think it (and most start-from-schema
binders) are weak:
1 when faced with a unexpressive schema
2 fast prototyping especially when adding a web service interface onto
an existing application and in particular by developers with strong
java backgrounds but weak xml.
IMHO start-from-java is a better match for these cases. (though in the
second, it would probably be replaced later by a generative solution.)
so, maybe there'd be some reason why people might want to use a
start-from-java binder even if it turns out to be better to directly
port the old style stuff. opinions?
