Niclas,

What version of Apache SOAP will you be starting with?  The use of JDK
1.2 features has accelerated over the last 4-6 weeks.  As you guessed,
this is mostly collection classes.  Fortunately, the changes are limited
to implementations; I don't think any public methods have JDK 1.2
classes in their signature.

If your ultimate target is J2ME CLDC, have you considered kSOAP
(http://ksoap.enhydra.org/)?  It is nice, small and targeted at this
platform.  With dependencies on JAF and JavaMail, Apache SOAP brings a
lot of baggage to small (in RAM) devices.

Ok, the undertaking is massive in other aspects, so ripping out 1.2
dependencies here and there is Ok, not if every second line is using
Collections (typically the most used 1.2 feature).

Next step is to check the usage of non J2ME CLDC features in Apache SOAP
and
"down-port" them. I assume this will largely be in the java.io package.
A
first assault in the weekend...

I will let you know on my progress with this.
