At the beginning JAXB was just used as a convenient way for serializing/deserializing XML on the server side (since Restlet-JAX-RS supports it out of the box). But indeed it is useful also on the client side if a client wants to use JAXB to handle XML representations, so a module that contains only the JAXB model is surely desirable. Is xwiki-rest-jaxb a good name for it? WDYT? -Fabio _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
