Sorry for being vague. I was referring to the SOAP platform, not the
underlying servlet/J2EE platform. As I said, Axis2 can be deployed on
any platform. But AXIOM is particular to Axis2. (It is a separate
project, and other SOAP platforms could use it, but to date, the only
other project that I know of that uses AXIOM is Synapse.)

The impact of using a platform-specific object model is that your
client/service code is not portable across other SOAP platforms.

This may be a dumb question, but what do you mean by platform specific
object model?  How is AXIOM platform specific?  I'm thinking that its
all Java so . . . and I don't recall choosing a particular platform
flavor of the AXIS2 distribution?
