Re: [jboss-dev] Infinispan configuration - all in one solution
Sorry for the delayed response.
I quickly looked through the code. From pure Java/XML binding point, now
that you looked a bit into the JAXB annotations, do you see something
that you need but missing there?
JBossXB annotations based binding is based on JAXB2.0, although it has a
number of its own annotations and features that allow to go a bit beyond
the standard. But also JBossXB doesn't support everything in JAXB yet.
Just because no one asked for it.
Another thing, JBossXB doesn't support marshalling for binding based on
Java annotations. We also don't generate schemas and documentation.
So, if you decide to switch to JAXB/JBossXB annotations and decide to
also write some tools like that, it would be great if you contributed
them to JBossXB.

I looked around a bit more to see that now in JAXB 2.x we have
annotations as well :) If we annotate our configuration beans with JAXB
annotations I suppose we can do exactly what you suggest - use JAXB for
marshalling/unmarshalling/schema generation and at the same time use
those annotation in a custom tool that creates reference documentation.

I agree.
