[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (HIBERNATE-111) XML Beans - XML Mapping, manipulating and querying

XML Beans - XML Mapping, manipulating and querying -------------------------------------------------- Key: HIBERNATE-111 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/HIBERNATE-111 Project: Hibernate Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: nimo stephan Assignee: Steve Ebersole Priority: Minor In the Hibernate Documentation (Chapter 18), there is a approach to map XML-Data via XML and use Dom4j to query and manipulate the XML-Nodes. This is very useful! But it would be better, to use a combination of the techniques which JAXB and Apaches XMLBeans provides: - annote POJO to make them XML-Beans (for example Annotation @XMLNode, @XMLElement) - manipulating XML data (CRUD) with HQL and for example dom4jsession (such the same as entityManager) - querying with HQL (which transforms the Query automatically to XQuery) - import, export of XSLT's In one word: Treat a XML-Document such as a EntityBean with all its possibilities. JAXB is really great, but it misses the ability to do cruds or common relationships (1:n). XMLBeans uses XQuery but this query-language can abstracted to HQL. Is there any plan in Hibernate to provide such XML-Features in future? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
