I definitely agree (but, of course, I'm part of The Castor Project ;-)). There's a lot to be said for reusing well built tools that are already available. In fact, we need to continually check ourselves so that we're not pervasive with the 'Not Built Here' attitude. Have we considered the use of JiBx (http://jibx.sourceforge.net/)? I'm seeing small reservations from everyone who looks at XMLBeans. Why not consider other tools that are very well suited to the job?
