Craig, I have just completed a similar task of hiding AXIS2 complexities for other developers. The only difference being, I am not hand coding the webservice part as you are doing. I have written wrapper classes around the generated code, written ant scripts to neatly take care of code generation and build.
Of course I haven' answered you question but my 2 cents..it is possible to utilize the AXIS2 code generation and still hide the AXIS2 API complexities by building a wrapper. The other developers would just be dealing with your API and POJOS.

Working for a company that wants to hide much of the complexity of the Axis2 api. I've been building some helper methods to allow the ability to use a set of beans to manipulate and bind the xml to the POJO's without the need for using the code generation tools, which is something the developers at this company wish to refrain from using if possible. So here is my problem: I get the root element and then //GET THE FIRST ELEMENT OMElement root = utils.getOMRootElement(envelope); // SET THE PARTNER SERVICE OBJECTS QName serviceQN = new QName(WSConstants.SERVICE_ELEMENT); Iterator serviceIter = root.getChildrenWithName(serviceQN); getService(serviceIter); //-- private method --// private void getService(Iterator serv) { Map aMap = new HashMap(); //-- pass in iterator and constants for simple xml element parsing --// try { aMap = utils.getSimpleOMSubElement(serv, this.getServiceConstants()); // the utility method as seen below int mapsize = aMap.size(); Iterator keyValuePairs1 = aMap.entrySet().iterator(); for (int i = 0; i < mapsize; i++) { Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry) keyValuePairs1.next(); Object key = entry.getKey(); Object value = entry.getValue(); logger.debug("<<<<<<<<< map values >>>>>>>> " +value.toString()); getServiceElementsSwitch(key, value); } } catch (SOAPException e) { logger.debug("getService SOAPException" +e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); } catch (XMLStreamException e) { logger.debug("getService XMLStreamException" +e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); } } I pass in a list of the binded elements as strings in a list so that I can iterate through them and then use the getChildWithNames iterator. My only problem is that I can only get the first element text value even though I loop through the list and pass I a new qName each time. I have even tried another helper to get the text value taking in the iterator and and the string value for the qName, but this still brings back only one of the text values. Am I missing something? I've logged it to make sure I'm iterating with the correct elements for the binding, and have run test to make sure the payload of text value is correct. /** * Walk the xml tree of elements * get the simple element and put * in map object for return. * * @param serv * @throws XMLStreamException * @throws SOAPException * @return Map map */ public Map getSimpleOMSubElement(Iterator iter, List wsConstants) throws SOAPException, XMLStreamException { int j = 1; String qName = ""; String text = ""; for (j = 0; j < wsConstants.size(); j++) { qName = (String)wsConstants.get(j); logger.debug("qName = " +qName); while (iter.hasNext()) { Object o = iter.next(); if (o instanceof OMElement) { OMElement c = (OMElement) o; OMElement element = getOMElement(c, qName); // helpe method - takes element and constant string text = element.getText(); } j++; logger.debug("text = " + j + "" +text); map.put(j, text); } } return map; } /** * Helper method to get the text elements in a type safe fashion * * @param element * @param name * @return */ public OMElement getOMElement(OMElement result, String element) throws SOAPException, XMLStreamException { QName qName = new QName(element); if (qName == null) { throw new RuntimeException("Missing required method element."); } Iterator i = result.getChildrenWithName(qName); if (! i.hasNext()) { throw new RuntimeException("Missing required element."); } OMElement omElement = (OMElement) i.next(); return omElement; } As you see in the logs I can only get the first text value of the seven entries, and the others do have text in them just unable to get it with the helper: 2007-05-01 17:41:19,967 [ApplicationServerThread-0] DEBUG utils.XMLUtils getSimpleOMSubElement.99 - qName = partner-num 2007-05-01 17:41:19,967 [ApplicationServerThread-0] DEBUG utils.XMLUtils getSimpleOMSubElement.110 - text = 100250 2007-05-01 17:41:19,967 [ApplicationServerThread-0] DEBUG utils.XMLUtils getSimpleOMSubElement.99 - qName = auth-code 2007-05-01 17:41:19,967 [ApplicationServerThread-0] DEBUG utils.XMLUtils getSimpleOMSubElement.99 - qName = client-user 2007-05-01 17:41:19,967 [ApplicationServerThread-0] DEBUG utils.XMLUtils getSimpleOMSubElement.99 - qName = client-id2 2007-05-01 17:41:19,967 [ApplicationServerThread-0] DEBUG utils.XMLUtils getSimpleOMSubElement.99 - qName = browser-form-post 2007-05-01 17:41:19,967 [ApplicationServerThread-0] DEBUG utils.XMLUtils getSimpleOMSubElement.99 - qName = operation 2007-05-01 17:41:19,967 [ApplicationServerThread-0] DEBUG utils.XMLUtils getSimpleOMSubElement.99 - qName = client-id3 2007-05-01 17:41:19,967 [ApplicationServerThread-0] DEBUG sso.SSOSkeleton getService.142 - <<<<<<<<< map values >>>>>>>> 100250 I built it originally using the straight ahead manner of waliking the elements, so why does it work below but above I cannot use the same idea with a helper method using iteration?
