Hi, I would like to know if Hibernate can persist objects to XML using the same pojo classes as database persistence classes? In fact,I want to persist/retrieve plain old java objects to/from an xml store which conforms to a given schema. This schema defines foreign key,but objects use aggregation like in hibernate mapping. Let me explain you the problem behind this problem.I've used hibernate 3.2 to persist some objects to a relational database.Now I want to persist/retrieve these objects to/from a xml store which is an instance of a schema. This xml schema is in fact an xml version of the database schema (so foreign and primary keys are also defined). Of course, I don't want to modify existing pojo classes. I just want another persistence(an xml one) implementation. Does Hibernate provide this?If not,is there another solution out there? Thanks.
