Title: WSDL2Java... Is all that REALLY necessary?

I'm looking at the stuff generated by WSDL2Java and wondering... Can't you have web services without RMI?  I just want to receive a SOAP Message, and have the body of it passed to a method.  The part where the XML gets turned into a Java object (wrapped) is nice, but not necessary.

Perhaps Axis isn't overkill for me.  Just as I did not go with EJB's, but instead stuck with Servlets & JSP and a simpler persistance layer, is there a simpler way to receive and process SOAP messages?  Axis (Apache SOAP) is certainly what popped up on search after search, so here I am, but maybe I should go elsewhere.
