Thanks to the Castor Team and others in this list, a few of my colleagues and I have been able to use Axis and Castor together very seamlessly. To make sure others benefit from all of the headaches we went through, we've published an article on IBM developerWorks for those of you trying to do the same.
The article may be found at: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-castor/ --- Create Web services using Apache Axis and Castor --- "Recent work has pointed out the benefits of using Document-style Web services over RPC -- they're cleaner, more natural to XML, and facilitate object exchange. However, Document-style services can be less than straightforward to deploy using Axis, since Axis's data binding framework can be difficult to use, doesn't support some popular features of XML-Schema, and most importantly, lacks validation support. This article addresses those woes by providing a step-by-step tutorial which explains how to integrate Axis with the Castor data-binding framework, creating a best-of-both worlds Web service that combines the Web services prowess of Axis with the data-binding brawn of Castor."

Erik, if you or someone could please update the Castor Wiki, to include a link to this article, it could be helpful to others as well. ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev
