Srinath had this[1] blog entry some time back which contains the use of XMLBeans generated code with the Axis 2 DII api... Seems like it is addresses your problem..
Also have a look at the databinding sample which comes with Axis2.. (Axis2/modules/samples/databinding).. It's bit more complex than the above and shows how users can plug in data binding frameworks easily..

Hi, XMLBeans can compile the schema into a set of classes that maps a schema to a class and also includes the code to convert a instance XML to an object instance (vice versa). This is what we call databinding However when you want to build a service it needs the plumbing code to get the XML message from the SOAP framework and do all the things that is specific to your framework. This code cannot be generated just by looking at the schema!. That is why you need the WSDL. This way of writing services is known as the 'contract first' and since you have the schema I think contract first way is the right way for you Ajith On 12/23/06, Danny Lin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thank you, Ajith, for responding.
