Sorry I wasn't very clear!!!
Take a look at the RawXMLInOutMessageReceiver.
This is an Axis2 MessageReceiver that can give you the body of the message as an XML. Paul
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.
