The argument which is maybe most important for me:
In my opinion it is more than a config file. I think it is some kind
of model (like the one in MVC)
for the mapping between Java entities and JCR entities. Therefore I
would like to have an
in memory Java bean representation of that model. This mapping model
can than be the basis for
every conversion between the Java entities and the JCR entities e.g.
it can be used for:
o writing Java objects as nodes to the repository
o loading nodes from the repository into Java objects
o generating node types out of Java classes
o generating Java classes out of node types
o ...
A simple change in the XML schema file would change the model (the
generated Java beans)
after regeneration and this changed model would be immediately
available for all components
using this model.
I basically think, writing the classes from the scratch would lead me to
the same structure of
the generated classes anyway.
