And how would you do this? In Visual Basic - I have an element with a name-field and a value-field both containing strings.
Element-objects are then collected in a collection which is called a work-space, and be accessed by a key And this workspace-objects are collected in a workspace-collection, be accessed by a key How would VB create from such a nested collection the SOAP-document hopefully then understood by AXIS2/AXIOM and the like How would I send this to my AXIS2 Web-Service Server from VB client? .NET V3.0? I have done it using PocketSoap and AXIS2/J+C AXIOM, AXUTIL, LIBXML, GZIP, etc the hard way down. Now I am very glad to learn about a better easier approach and way to do that. seriously , what do I have to look at? How ?

If you have a schema and pre-existing objects, I myself would be looking into sending the objects over the wire as is. JIBX in particular is pretty good at pre-existing objects and Collections. Anyways, what Axiom / Stax does that's special is that you don't have to build the tree. Its been a while since I worked with it, but if you are determined to go with Axiom and are concerned about performance, one thing to try might be creating a custom DataSource that implements OMDataSource that streams the output. To go that way, I'd grep thru the unit tests from the latest source for OMDataSource for examples and pay attention to not building the tree in particular if possible.
