Mike, if you want to use your own serializer/deserializer try to adapt
this tutorial :

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-castor/

They do a data binding with castor. So they need to integrate in their
WSDD and the generate stubs Castor serializer/deserializer. Look at
what they do.
