java soapclient,用于Java的轻量级SOAP客户端库

Can anyone recommend a good Java open source library for building a simple SOAP web service client? I'm looking for something with minimal dependencies and configuration that will work in a Java 5 SE environment. Upgrading to Java 6 isn't really an option on this project and I'd prefer to avoid using a full J2EE container if I can avoid it. I don't need to publish and services, only consume.

I'm currently using Axis2 but I have to pull in about 15MB of extra jars just to make a simple call to a web service without a NoClassDefFoundError and I'm looking for something with a lot less bloat.

I've also looked at CXF, but I'm reluctant to use it because of it's tight coupling to Spring. Spring isn't a 100% deal breaker, but I'd rather avoid it if possible.

Any suggestions?

In Spring 3.0 thay have splitted the big spring.jar into modules which will reduce size.

The drawback would be that you have to manage dependencies between a lot of jar's this could be become complex if don't want to introduce maven. That was the reason (among others like compatibility problems) why I'm still using axis.
