I've been playing around with sun's Provider, the mapping to JAXB
isn't *very* difficult if you do wsdl-first

Create a context with the generated ObjectFactory class
    _jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(ObjectFactory.class);

Then it's almost immediate to get the java objects :
public void invoke(Source source, AsyncProviderCallback<Source> cbak,
WebServiceContext ctxt) {
    JAXBElement jaxbRequest = (JAXBElement)
_jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller().unmarshal(source);
    GetHelloWorldAsString getHelloWorldAsString =
(GetHelloWorldAsString) jaxbRequest.getValue();

Then it's "almost" the same thing for the answer :

    GetHelloWorldAsStringResponse getHelloWorldAsStringResponse =
objectFactory.createGetHelloWorldAsStringResponse();
    getHelloWorldAsStringResponse.setReturn(/*somth*/);

    JAXBElement<GetHelloWorldAsStringResponse> jaxbResponse =
objectFactory.createGetHelloWorldAsStringResponse(getHelloWorldAsStringResponse);

    ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    _jaxbContext.createMarshaller().marshal(jaxbResponse, os);
    ByteArrayInputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(os.toByteArray());
    cbak.send(new StreamSource(is));
}
