Q: 

Does anyone know of a Java implementation similar to the .NET SoapFormatter

I am looking for a library or code snippet to allow me to serialize and de serialize an object into a SOAP representation. Similar to what the .NET SoapFormatter does but an implementation in Java.

I have looked on Google and web but so far I have been unable to find something which does it. I know there is a namepsace in javax for SOAP, but again, if this holds what I need ton achieve it, I am looking for a little guidance code to show me an example or something.

TIA

Andrew

A: 

There are more web service implementations in Java than you could shake a stick at. There is no one way of doing this stuff.

Are you actually looking for a web service implementation, or just that one very specific task? There's no such thing as "SOAP representation", so I'm not sure what you're asking for.

This is not for wweb services but something similar. The objects which are created and exposed through web services I would like to use a formatter to serialize my object into the SOAP Representation of such.

Yes, but what do you mean by "SOAP representation"? That doesn't mean anything, SOAP is a protocol not a data format. Do you mean XML representation?

ok sorry by representation I meant using the schema used in SOAP, and yes ofcourse in XML. With header, body etc... containing the object structure. Thanks for your input

Please take a look at the JAXB(Java Architecture for XML Binding) and SAAJ(SOAP with Attachments API for Java).

Will have a peek, thanks

They are part of JavaEE
