I'm doing it in Java right now.  I'm trying to integrate the JabberBeans
library and the Apache SOAP implementation.  Before anyone else says it,
I know there may be licensing issues lurking, but I'm being forced this

my eventual target for data storage.

If it gets to be more than an ugly hack, I'll be happy to share.
