I'm attaching the (LGPL) serializer I have; I think deser will work,
the serializer code looks to sparse to be fully implemented :(

Note that when you ask axis to get something as a DOM, it effectively
reparses everything again, which is aggressively suboptimal, and not
something that a JAXRPC impl. mandates (i.e. the sun one doesnt).

Axis2 is much less biased towards O/X mapping; you could probably go
straight from teh message structure (the MOM) to Xom with ease. Its
still in dev, but an early release may be outs soon.
