The OpenWS library provides a growing set of tools to work with web services at a low level. These tools include
classes for creating and reading SOAP messages, transport-independent clients for connecting to web services, and
various transports for use with those clients.

The XMLTooling library, contained within OpenWS, provides the ability to work with XML as regular Java beans.
This is similar to the Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB), XMLBeans, and XStream libraries.
It differs from these libraries in three main ways:

    Much finer control to developer for what happens during the marshalling and unmarshalling processes
    Much more extensible, allowing various implementations of all of it's XMLObjects
    Support for XML Digital Signatures and Encryption
