Two quick questions about your proposal:

- Axis2 supports several binding styles. There is the classic code
generator (wsdl2java) that supports different data bindings (the
default ADB, xmlbeans, JIBX,...), but there is also support for JAX-WS
artifacts generated by wsimport (which is not part of Axis2, but that
comes from Sun's JAX-WS reference implementation). What would be the
scope of this project?
- Can you give an example of how an annotated XML schema element would
look like? That would give us a better understanding of the ideas you
have in mind.

Thanks.

Andreas
