You might also consider trying Axis (http://xml.apache.org/axis), the
third-generation Apache SOAP engine. It does its XML parsing using SAX, and
tends to perform significantly (i.e. 4X faster in many cases) better than
SOAP 2.2.
There are also nice features like multi-ref serialization (i.e. arbitrary
object graphs), instant deployment (without deployment descriptors), and
WSDL tooling....
