Reg: JAXM support on BEA Weblogic 7.0

Question

BACKGROUND: I am developing a Point-to-point SOAP sender/receiver application.
A client sends a SOAP message directly to the ultimate recipient
using a SOAPConnection object. Here client to the intended recipient
rather than to a messaging provider. Therefore, when the application
sends a message, the message goes directly to the intended recipient.
This kind of SOAP message exchange uses the APIs in the javax.xml.soap package.
SOAPConnection (and its related classes) is a pure library implementation
that lets you send SOAP messages directly to a remote party.
CODE:
try
String endpoint="http://localhost:7001/WholesaleVendor/wsv";
URLEndpoint urlEndpoint= new URLEndpoint(endpoint);
SOAPConnectionFactory soapConnFct = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection soapConnection = soapConnFct.createConnection();
MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage requestSoapMsg = messageFactory.createMessage();
//REST OF THE CODE FOLLOWS
PROBLEM: It works on Sun's JWSDP 1.0. Howerver, on BEA Weblogic 7.0, I get error.
The error is in the following line:
============================
javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Unable to create SOAP connection factory:
Provider com.sun.xml.messaging.client.p2p.HttpSOAPConnectionFactory not found
at javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance(Unknown Source)
at supermarket.InventoryBuilder.placePOOnWholeSaleVendor(InventoryBuilder.java:74)
============================
QUERY: Is Point-to-point JAXM communication supported on BEA Weblogic 7.0?
If not, what is alternative?
What is the scope of JAXM support on BEA Weblogic 7.0?
Thanking you in anticipation.

Answer 1

We have not implemented JAXM, nor has JAXM been included in J2EE 1.4.
JAXM has not gotten much traction in the marketplace, and we have
focused instead on JAX-RPC, which is available in 7.0 and 8.1. From
your description, it sounds like JAX-RPC would meet your requirements.
Note that we do support the SAAJ APIs, which were previously part of JAXM.
