Hi All Yeah idea of JAXWS-ODE bridge is a good idea. But the thing is as Tammo mentioned that we need a modern integration layer, but it should have almost same functionalities that current Axis2 implementation has. CXF has support for many WS-* like WS-addressing,WS-policy,WS-RM and etc which also supported by Axis2. As far as I know JAX-WS doesn't support these standards. It is a good idea that if we can implement a generalize JAX-WS-ODE bridge with the support of CXF for other WS-* implementations. On the other hand if we mainly focus on the functionalities that should implement in the integration layer which should be as good as current Axis2 implemetation just CXF implementation also a good choice I suppose.
