Sorry to bother the "dev" list with this, but I think you folks will know a lot more about this than the user community.
In looking at the CVS history for javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory.java, the first commit comment says: First cut of javax.xml.soap package from JAXM Spec. - This is a subset of the classes from JAXM that we need for JAX-RPC 0.6 - Had to check in 2 classes in javax.xml.messaging that were referenced from javax.xml.soap package. - Had to check in 1 class in javax.xml.transform that was referenced from javax.xml.soap package. - Needs "attachments.present" to compile. Does not compile if attachments.present is false. - Javadocs were hand-copied from JAXM Spec's Javadocs (JAX Winter Pack) - As soon as we get an official copy we can replace this code with the "official" copy. What exactly does this mean? Is AXIS planning on using Sun's JAXM as the implementation for the javax.xml.soap package? What are the plans here? The reason I'm asking: I have developed an HTTP servlet that uses the JAXM API to handle SOAP requests. (It extends JAXMServlet and implements onMessage().) I am looking at implementing something similar using AXIS. After making the necessary mods, I tried compiling and running with the AXIS jars, but get the following error when trying to create a javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory via MessageFactory.newInstance(): javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Unable to create message factory for SOAP: Provider com.sun.xml.messaging.soap.MessageFactoryImpl not found. (This provider is located, of course, in "jaxm-client.jar" (part of the JAXM release), but is not anywhere in the AXIS release.) Any info you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks.
