Java Web Start and Webservice consumation - bad idea?

I am developing a JWS client application where the plan is consume
coorporate webservices. However, initial deployment attempts has baffled
me in regard to required libraries - bringing my 1.5MB jar up around
40MB! :-O

I am currently using Oracle JDeveloper and its JAX-RPC webservice
support. But is there some webservice/XML-parsing support I could
harvest from the JRE 1.5 SE? Or is Java Web Start and Webservice
consumation just a plain bad idea?

Regards,
Casper

For XML parsing, have you looked at the javax.xml.parsers package?

What libraries did you have to put in there? It would be great it
there was something that you did not need that was already there in
the JDK.

See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/xsd.html
Look at he code sample. That gives you a hook into the general JavaDoc
region of XML processing so you could poke around to see what's there
for client side.
Chase links to DOM, SAX and XPATH for more Sun links.
