This message was originally submitted by woolfel_at_CHARTER.NET to the
JAXB-INTEREST list at JAVA.SUN.COM. If you simply forward it back to the list,
using a mail command that generates "Resent-" fields (ask your local user
support or consult the documentation of your mail program if in doubt), it will
be distributed and the explanations you are now reading will be removed
automatically. If on the other hand you edit the contributions you receive into
a digest, you will have to remove this paragraph manually. Finally, you should
be able to contact the author of this message by using the normal "reply"
function of your mail program.

I submitted a bug for jaxb two weeks back, but I am a little bit
impatient. Is it possible to get the source, so I can fix the bug myself
and submit the fix back to the reference implementation?


another comment I have relating to java/xml binding is the API should
support direct biding in the current jaxb and castor's mapping approach.
I can see situations where both modes of binding are useful and
preferable. in a dynamic world where the model may have slight
variations in implementation, a mapped approached would probably work
better. For performance sensitive cases, where creating extra classes
causes garbage collection overhead, binding would be more suitable.
