Thanks for the quick feedback. I don't have a particular WSDL I need to adhere to. Apparently the serializers that Axis is using are able to better handle the run-time serialization/introspection that these VariableInstance objects need, than Aegis is. Apparently XFire is faster, though - and it supports JSR181, so we'll be sticking to XFire, but with DTOs (probably not a bad idea anyway).

There are many ways to generate a wsdl and generate schemas from pojos.
I haven't looked at how Axis does it in a long time so I can't really
comment on that. If you have a particular wsdl that you wish to adhere
to, try using our wsdl->code genrator.
