I hesitate to show my ignorance about this, but maybe in doing so I'll learn something. It seems to me that if you have an implementation of JAXM then you could create an implementation of JAX-RPC on top of that. Isn't the main difference that JAX-RPC is more specific about the content of the SOAP body? If this is the case then I don't see why Axis shouldn't fully support JAXM.
