2013/7/23 Bill Stafford bstaff...@artificialmed.com Peter Keller is correct, VTD is no substitute for XMLBeans. I would class the email suggesting that it was as spam. The next best approach, if XMLBeans is not an option, would be JAXB. But JAXB is nothing like XMLBeans so I would not call JAXB an equivalent, just a substitute. Since I wrote my first mail I've switched over to JAXB, which is sufficient for my quite simple needs. But I still feel it's sad that XMLBeans has been left unmaintained. But I guess it's a fact of life. Regards, Elvis ** ** -=bill stafford
Re: Project still maintained?
We're using XmlBeans in several of our projects and haven't found anything else out there that does the job like it, particularly when it comes to dealing with substitution groups and other advanced schema features. Would very much like to see this stay out of the attic! best *P On 7/23/13 3:26 PM, Elvis Stansvik wrote: 2013/7/23 Bill Stafford bstaff...@artificialmed.com mailto:bstaff...@artificialmed.com Peter Keller is correct, VTD is no substitute for XMLBeans.

Re: Project still maintained?
Hi all, I have been working for a Charity for the last 5 years, and we are using XMLBeans for Marshalling web service calls to Java with Spring-ws. These has been a very successful approach and have had no real issues with it. I know it counts for little, but It would be a massive shame if the project was to die. mARK aNDREWS m/|RK aNDREWS website: http://www.mraandrews.co.uk photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mraandrews twitter: http://www.twitter.com/mraandrews On 23 July 2013 14:36, Pascal Heus pascal.h...@gmail.com wrote: We're using XmlBeans in several of our projects and haven't found anything else out there that does the job like it, particularly when it comes to dealing with substitution groups and other advanced schema features.

Getting XMLBeans out of Attic
Hi list, I am a long-time user of XMLBeans, most of the time as part of the BPELUnit project. There is no replacement to XMLBeans because in contrast to JAXB if preserves namespace declarations so you e.g. read and write XML document that contain XPath expressions (e.g. BPEL, BPMN2, ...). Although I know XMLBeans only from the user perspective, I would contribute to it, which includes learning more of its internals, apply the outstanding patches, test them and so on. As far as I understand the Apache rules a project needs to have a working PMC. This means at least 3 people (for substitution 4 or 5 would be better) which vote on releases. I also would join a new PMC if 3 other would be willing to join me and at least build regular maintainance releases to keep this project alive and reboot its PMC. I know that many other projects use XMLBeans, e.g. Apache Camel, Apache CXX Apache ODE, ... and many non-Apache projects, too. So I hope that we can find enough interested people to keep this project alive. If you are one of them, please reply to this list. If we are enough people, I would try to talk to the Apache Foundation.
