[jboss-dev] Infinispan configuration - all in one solution

[Alexey Loubyansky]

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.
