Ok, I will but I just want to make sure I am on the right track.
So with JAXB, it is possible to use pre-existing Java objects and annotate their fields to create a XML that confirms to a particular schema. Is that correct? If yes, how JAXB will find all classes that have annotations.

Hi,
> Actually we need to populate each and every element inside the XML. JAXB has created a class for each element in XML. Hence if we go with the first approach, then we will definitely require all 120+ classes.
If you need to populate each and every element inside the XML then I don't see why you mind having 120 classes. Would you prefer two or three huge classes?
By the way, usually JAXB does not create a class per element, it's usually class per complex type. 120 classes would mean the order of 120 complex types in your schema for me.

To be honest, I don't feel like quoting Google.
You may start with the Chapter 8 of the JAXB specification, it explains Java Type to XML binding.
Bye.
