Do we as a project have a view on how to generate bindings from an XML
schema?
The XML Faq (http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/xml/faq.html)
helpfully lists 7 different parsing approaches while the internals page (
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/xml/internal/index.html)
has links to (essentially) blank pages about the modules involved in xml
handling. If I look at the tutorial (
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/xml/internal/tutorial.html)
it uses JAXB (which apparently none of our modules do). There is also a
guide to the codegen methodolgy (
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/xml/internal/code.html)
which doesn't seem to match what modules on the ground (e,g, wfs) do and
seems to only generate an empty schema class. Then there is EMF, but the
latest tutorial for that is from 2014 (
http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/tutorials/emf-tutorial/) so it's either very
out of date or very stable.
Personally I'd lean towards JAXB as it is built in and the OGC provide
prebuilt jars (https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jvnet/ogc/) for most of
their standards. But as JABX is currently the only XML technology we don't
use I'm wary of adding yet another XML technology to our stack.
Thoughts?
