The new JAXM reference implementation is out which uses dom4j internally. Many thanks to those nice folks at Sun for choosing dom4j. JAXM = Java Api for Xml Messaging. You can download it here:- http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/xml/jaxm/ A nice side effect of this is that using the JAXM RI you can cast the SOAP messages to a dom4j Node and evaluate XPath expressions on the messages.
