Ok, just so I'm understanding the spec from the quick read I've done
of it so far. JAXB is basically just another way to bind Java classes
to XML, much like Castor. If one were to implement JAXB it would
involve having complete API level support for the spec, which in
castors case would be like 're-doing', or at least heaviy modifying
existing code to meet the specs and behave accordingly.
So the fact that JAXB uses generics/annotations really doesn't buy my
current situation a whole lot, but may give some ideas on what to do
with them.
My other understanding is that JAXB doesn't have one XML 'spec' that
they follow, but is a lot like Castor in allowing the use of any
arbitrary descriptor/xml format to be used. I bring this up becuase
I'm confused when you say 'By XML spec, do you mean the JAXB 2.0
spec?'.
Hmm...guess thats it for now, but this could be an intersting project
to get going, and like you said, that is one big spec they got there.
