Generic technology connector and SPML problems

Question

I'm having some trouble finding docs for my problem. What I'm trying to do is create my own spml web service (employing the new Java 6 JWS technology), which can be used by OIM by means of a generic technology connector . But no matter what I do, I can't seem to make the two communicate. I can't find any documentation explaining how to create a SOAP web service for SPML: what methods should be created, their signature, whether there is any specific WSDL that I should use to generate the Java classes and methods for the web service, etc...
I actually don't even know whether the new JWS can be used at all. Perhaps I should be using Apache Axis (or Axis2) or something else.
Thanks.

This is what I've found in the docs:
"Each SPML request is sent in a SOAP message. The SOAP header carries authentication information for the request. The actual SPML request data is the SOAP message body. "
All I'm trying to do is create a SOAP web service (in this case with Java 6, but that's not fundamental) that can intercept that message and grab the SPML request (and then do what I have to do).
I tried with something like the following code:
package wsspml;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.*;
@WebService
public class SPMLServer {
     public String processRequest(String requestData) {
but it won't work. It's like the exposed SOAP method "processRequest" is invisible. It's not being called. Perhaps the signature is wrong. I don't know what to make of it. I'm trying to understand how to grab that SPML request that's coming from OIM through the custom generic technology connector that I configured.
