xmlbeans and annotations for mapping

[Viren Baraiya]

Hi All,

does the xml bean provide support for java 5.0 style annotations to define the binding between xml and java beans?

If not, is there any active interest in community on providing such a feature?

(The generated type classes are POJO - no XmlObject extensions and annotations are used to define mapping to the xml schema)

There are obvious benifits to this, one of the major one is that a java class (POJO) can be a standalone class and a databinding provider can map it to from xml document, reducing the need for complete XmlObject heirarchy.
