Just looked at the generated sources and it does not appear that
XMLBeans generated bits are intended to function in a non-XML
environment. For example, if someone wanted to construct a bean just
using APIs it looks like they may have to put in some dummy XML fluff,
which is sorta silly IMO. But I have not really played with it that
much, so this could just be an assumption.
I would like to see that we eventually use a common tool for xml
binding, but I want to make sure that such a tool will generate sources
which can be easily used when XML is not there at all (like how Castor
generates sources).
BTW, is there any word on when/if Castor will have richer XML schema
support?
