I agree with you. Unless you can guarantee that the client is going to be java & axis based, you shouldn't use your own serializer. I have had to do this once for a client, but in that case the design specification was that the client to the service was to be their own application, and the serializer was needed for performance reasons (cut the runtime down by 70%). However, all the other services I've written use the default serializers because they are public, and the client app could be any target language.
