Hi, It seems you are just trying to kill a bug with a canon. I am shure there are some (free) tools that just do the java2xml stuff and I suppose they are more suitable for you instead of changing the source code. But I don't know much of those tools... hope somebody will tell us all.
I suppose (my own oppinion) that axis could do that, but you have to change some source code and you should rip all the other not usefull parts (for you). So its quite chalenging but might take some time. And just pay attention because axis uses alot of stuff (you see how many jars do you need in order to run axis). Other solution that I found was to use a small soap engine. And I used the ksoap!!! Is great and, being very small, is very easy to take out the parts you don't need. And I managed to transform a java object in xml format. :o))) I could even remove the extra name spaces and stuff like this.
