'Comments will be welcomed.' Well, here you go:   ;-)

Explore the use of flyweights, in nmwg java implementation(to lower memory 
footprint esp with
big requests.)

Perhaps only load SAX_config_file once and keep mappings.
(keep the MessageHandler around)

Change life-cycle of ServiceEngine's (make them stateless beyond 
initialisation(like servlets))
- allows for one time initialisation
- lowers amount of work that needs to be done per request (no need to 
reflectively create and
instance just keep it in memory. Allows us to remove checks)

Improve quality:
Assert FindBugs results.

Identify dependencies and describe what they are used for/by and perhaps trim 
them?
Distributions of the base with dependencies is quite big. (Our war is 17 mb 
which is a lot
for something that doesn't feature pictures or other media)

Run it through a profiler (might have already be done.)

Also as this has been a longer standing for others have a look at to replace 
axis into
somethign 'newer' Axis2 xfire etc. Although that's not a specific personal 
wish.
