Take a look at the RawXMLInOutMessageReceiver.

But even if you are looking at using another ESB, it might still be
useful to use Synapse.

Here's my sales pitch:

1) Its really not that big. Its a 20Mb download but the core Synapse
code is about 300k over and above Axis2.
2) You might end up using some of the features later.
3) We have tested our code a lot, so we're pretty sure that its going
to work well in your case.
4) One of our committers is writing a book on using Synapse and Mule.
So you wouldn't be alone in using Synapse as a way of adding really
top rate XML and WS handling to your existing ESBs.

I will have a look at synapse...

If i was starting from scratch it seems that would be the best option but as
I am planning to integrate with an esb solution I am already use that
provide message routing, transformation etc. I think the best option would
be to extend axis to achieve what I need rather than using synapse which has
functionality that i already have in my esb.

I need to use axis as a SOAP stack that receives SOAP messages, processes
them using phases/pipelines and then spits out the xml message payload
rather than binding to java objects and invoking a service that has been
configured.

How would I go about doing this with axis2, using axis programaticaly if
needed?

- What the implementation of a custom Reciever allow me to output xml rather
than bind and invoke?
- Is it possible to configure axis engine that works without configuring a
server implementation?
- Can i specifiy wsdl instead of generating from service interface/class (i
wouldn't have a service interface/class)
- Any others things I should take into account?

thanks,
Dan
