Hi Javier, The JibxSoap code has been left in an alpha form for some time, as I'm sure you're aware. Despite this alpha state, it is usable for web services that don't need WS-Security or other WS-* layers on top of SOAP.
In the current state of the code I believe you're correct that the elements in the header must be included in the binding, and that you'd need to add appropriate methods to actually work with the headers. The binding issue isn't inherent in using JiBX, of course - since the JibxSoap code was released I've made a number of enhancements that would allow independent bindings to be used for the headers and the body, for instance - but some restructuring of the JibxSoap code would be needed to work around these issues. I'd like to do more with JibxSoap, but made the decision at the time of the initial JiBX production release at the end of 2005 to first focus on getting JiBX support integrated into Axis2, since Axis2 was going to support the whole stack of WS-* layers - something I'd likely not be able to do for JibxSoap. The Axis2 support has been a lot more involved than I expected, but there are now a substantial number of organizations using JiBX in this way. The upcoming Jibx2Wsdl release will make this even simpler for people starting from Java code. Now that JiBX support in Axis2 is stable I'll again look at taking JibxSoap further in order to help people who are looking for better performance than offered by frameworks such as Axis2 and XFire. - Dennis Dennis M.
