                 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?
