Hi, On a new project, we are thinking of using the XML mapping feature for working with persistent XML data. I saw in the documentation that this feature is still experimental. What is its status? Do you know when it is going to be officially released? Do you think there will still be changes in the API? Is it stable enough that we can start working with it? Thank you for information. Antoine

It wont be "official" until someone gives it some TLC. There are issues with inheritance, especially in regards to figuring out concrete types of polymorphic associations. There is also a sever limitation in regards to the inability to namespace the document/elements.
