| | 2 | * [heikki] XML binding: |
| | 3 | In the ebRIM branch, and in the Nordic Security code (not public yet), JiBX is used for Java <--> XML binding. It is highly useful to have such a binding, as it can be invoked automatically on Web Service communications and leads to a much cleaner dealing with objects in Java than when DOM/JDOM is used. One disadvantage of JiBX is that this binding needs to be written manually, which is a bit of a pain in the neck. Another disadvantage is that it is not a Java standard. JAXB on the other hand *is* the standard and comes with a binding-generator that takes a schema and produces the bound Java classes. |

| | 5 | However, I've tried running it on the ISO19139 schema and it does not work : |

| | 25 | |
| | 26 | This is because of peculiarities in the schemas that we cannot control. I have asked !users@ogc.java.net if it is possible to do this at all, but I'd be surprised. |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | Question remains: if we cannot use JAXB to generate a binding for ISO19139, is it still desired to use JAXB for situations where we *can* use it, instead of using JiBX ? |
