Axis2 and XMLBeans - what is the relationship?

[Paul Grillo]

Short question:  Can I use XMLBeans as distributed by xmlbeans.apache.org as my serializer/deserializer in Axis2?  If so how?  It appears to be different than what is contained in Axis2>     I have a simple WSDL backed up by a few Schemas.  They generate clean java classes in Axis 1.2   So I ran them through Axis2, and what I got was about 653 various uncompiled files generated of which only about 30 reflect the actual beans I’ll be interacting with.  It also appeared to insist on pre-pending “codegen.databinding” to the package names that are reflective of my chosen namespace.  I guess I was pretty surprised at all that was generated, the naming etec etc.   I then used scomp from xmlbeans v2 distribution, and it generated a very nice jar file with pretty much what I expected.  The compiler was much more powerful and provides me with some other capabilities.  I would like to use this in “either” Axis 1.2 or Axis2.  Is it possible?   I do not want to tie my databinding to a web services framework.  I am willing to use stand-alone XMLBeans.  Is this doable?   thanks
