Thanks for the pointer Emmanuel. I'm doing the investigation work now and will seek funding in the next week or two. I have funding to creating some experiments. I'm thinking about spending about a week to see how I can use Hibernate to do the following with our native XML DB:
1) XML documents in the file system need to be sorted and stored in an XMLDB 2) Java object contains a DOM object that needs to be stored in an XMLDB 3) Java object contains a hashmap that needs to be stored in an XMLDB 4) Web Service response comes from stored Java object data in an XMLDB 5) Java method response comes from stored Java object data in an XMLDB These seem to cover the majority of use cases for Hibernate and XML. Does this make sense to you? Am I on the right track? -Frank On Jun 27, 2006, at 5:41 AM, Emmanuel Bernard wrote: > I guess you'll have at least to reimplement EntityPersister and > CollectionPersister.
