Personally, I like XMLBeans. I prefer the XML first approach which it
seems to serve well. I've never had any problems with it (e.g.
unsupported document elements/structures) and although I'm sure its
not perfect that's a good enough reason for me to keep working with
it. Maybe I've just been lucky though?
I've often thought of switching to a JAXB solution as standards are a
good thing but I'm wary of something that generates XML from java. It
just makes me think XML-RPC for some reason (always prefered
doc/literal). I'd be interested to hear someone jump in to argue the
case for JAXB though.
JAXB supports the schema-first style as well. CXF uses this capability
for some of the Spring configuration classes (e.g. HTTPClientPolicy)
which are generated from the schemas at build time.
