The databinding support is true for the client side as well. In case you are using java for the client side then use one of the supported databindings and you won't deal with AXIOM.

Clients could construct a WS-I compliant SOAP message whichever way they can, .Net, C++ or Perl clients would do this. Since JAXB and other databindings are supported, server side need not use AXIOM either. Only if you choose no-databinding, you would be dealing with AXIOM on the server side.

I was referring to the SOAP platform, not the underlying servlet/J2EE platform. As I said, Axis2 can be deployed on any platform. But AXIOM is particular to Axis2. (It is a separate project, and other SOAP platforms could use it, but to date, the only other project that I know of that uses AXIOM is Synapse.) The impact of using a platform-specific object model is that your client/service code is not portable across other SOAP platforms.
