Very interesting idea. I was playing with using jaxb for xml to object conversion, although there may be license issues with it. Offhand, it looks to me as if using the jdk 1.4 persistence format (I just read about it for 5 min or so) would involve some pretty heavy-duty xml transformations and require jdk 1.4. Jaxb appears (in very preliminary experiments) to be able to generate classes from the ejb 2 dtd and jbosscmp-jdbc dtd. sooo.. --jaxb requires using specially generated base classes but requires minimal xml transformation. License may make it unavailable (???? anyone else have an opinion about this???) --jdk 1.4 persistence can use regular classes but requires a lot of xsl, and jdb 1.4. Any one have experience with both or at least an opinion?
