Hi John,
welcome .. :-). Yes, that combination is a nice one. Before trying to
address your questions re: mapping, let me ask you one (important)
question first. As you have XML schemas anyhow, why bother writing a
mapping (file) at all ? Surely you could use the Castor XML code
generator and generate Java (and descriptor) classes from your XML
schema, and simply use them with Spring OXM.
If that's not an option to you, I'd liek to know why.
Regards
Werner
