[wsif] dependency of AXIS provider on xerces serializer

[Aleksander Slominski]

hi,

it seems that it was just introduced and i do not think it is good idea - it takes
away from users freedom to use any JAXP compliant parser when using SOAP ...

i am really concerned that providers in WSIF are now getting more and more
both inter dependent and dependent on lots of other libraries taking away
one of the most attractive aspects of WSIF in my opinion: ability to mix and match
providers based on user needs. i would like for example to make it easy to use
just SOAP provider without anything but WSDL4J, JAXP parser (and there are fast
and small SAX2 parsers) and AXIS jars ...

here are errors i get:

maybe in this case it would make sense to separate org.apache.xml.serialize.* and check it in as
a separate set of source files or use JAR file from Xerces 2 is they allow building just serializer?

thanks,

alek
