------------------------------------
Summary: Use JAXB to provide a Java interface based on the XSD
schemas
Key: OOZIE-2339
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2339
Project: Oozie
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: client
Affects Versions: trunk
Reporter: Robert Kanter
Users often complain about the XML they have to write for Oozie jobs. It would
be nice if they could write them in something like Java, but we don't want to
have to maintain a separate Java API for this. I was looking around and saw
that JAXB might be the right thing here. From what I can tell, it lets you
create Java classes from XSD schemas. So, we should be able to auto-generate a
Java API for writing Oozie jobs, without having to really maintain it.
