Can I assume that you know that you can "inject" your own (custom) Validators at generation time/mapping time ? I am not sure this would be of any help, but it might be worth looking into.

Well, you can always use reflection to retrieve enough information about all the children of a Java class (noded in your speak), and 'apply' the visitors. > So, if a node violates > some rule, I need to feedback the user with the line number and column > of this node. Okay, I now understand your requirement. As far as I know, we don't maintain that information in our framework code (yet). > That's why I need the two representation of the XML, one > abstract just like DOM to make the TreeWalker and another "Java-beans > like" to specify the rules more friendly.
