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.

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.

Re: Project still maintained?
This is awfully unfortunate. To my knowledge, there's no comparable product out there. We're still struggling with a few XMLBeans issues that we've had to go to straight DOM to work around. I was hoping that future releases would address some of these issues, but it doesn't appear to be the case.

Re: Project still maintained?
If I knew the first thing about most of the issues, I'd be more help. XMLBeans has helped me learn a few things about XML and schemas in general. Most of our issues are high level; i.e., not just minor bug fixes. For those interested: - Documentation on getting XMLBeans to run on the NetBeans platform and/or an OSGi container would be helpful. With JARs in different modules, XMLBeans can't find dependent libraries (i.e., finding Saxon to do XPath queries). - XMLBeans is advertised as DOM Level 2 compliant, but that doesn't seem to include the DOM Level 2 event model. In the grand scheme of things, there's no way I'm aware of to listen for add/edit/remove events in XMLBeans. We've ended up writing our own and firing the events as needed. - XML Digital Signatures requires that ID attributes be identified as xs:ID attributes in the schema. XMLBeans' DOM doesn't support this as it's a DOM Level 3 feature. Digitally signing documents requires us to reparse the document as DOM. If I had the ability to address some of these issues or even provide guidance, I'd do so. My knowledge to date is that of an end user; I understand the problem, but not a path to the solution.
