Unfortunately JAX-WS (Java API for XML Web Services) only works directly with XML.... (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm misinformed in this regard as I've never fully explored using JAX-WS without XML)
You have a couple of options though... If you want to stick with XML based web services you can go with using Base64 encoded protocol buffer message(s) in appropriate XML fields. Likewise you can return data this way. The drawbacks of this are that you're essentially throwing away a lot of the good that comes from web services being well defined in terms of argument and return data types. (Base64 is an encoding scheme for putting binary data in "human readable" data streams such as XML by only using displayable characters... encoding suffers a 4/3 size penalty as it takes four 6- bit chars to encode three 8-bit bytes) If you're more flexible you can implement a non-XML based web service using a RESTful model, or thin HTTP requests, to post and get protocol buffers directly as raw bytes. There are also some "remoting" services built on top of protocol buffers that act much like web services. I have not used any of them so I'll leave it to someone more versed in those to speak to them. If you want more info you can ask more questions or do a search on RESTful web services (and yes JAX-WS supports "RESTful" but still using XML...)
