Now I don't want wo lose the benefits of WSIF when calling my service from the client side. I guess, that WSIF would need to be capable of marshalling and unmarshalling castor generated objects from and to XML. Is there any way to make WSIF and Castor play together? i think that AXIS-SOAP provider may work after you manage to setup required mappings - did you try? however when thinking about it my opinion is that WSIF should depend more on XML Infoset when passing data to providers and not Java objects - if Java object is passed to provider and provider does not know how to deal with it it should ask WSIF runtime to convert it to preferred XML representation (DOM, SAX events, whatnot) - if we had this then this would be the place where to plug Castor for *all* providers - alas we do not have this capability ... thanks, alek -- The best way to predict the future is to invent it - Alan Kay
