well, castor provides java object to xml mapping (sounds similar to torque in this regard) but while torque builds its objects from an xml schema, the objects castor produces can interact directly with data stored in xml schema (does this make sense?)
i'm spending some more time on it today so if i come up with something useful i'll let you know. Castor project is at http://castor.exolab.org I was thinking that using the file upload service, I could stream the xml file directly over and parse the data with castor, passing into my peer objects and then storing to the database. seems tedious but I unfortunately don't have time for a truly elegant solution ;) speaking with one of my developer buddies, he said they are using castor in a similar setup for propagating large amounts of data across differente database platforms. his only caution was that speed is not that great, however, I'm not too worried about speed issues as anything would be an improvement over the old systems here.
