Hello, >Is Castor driven by proper xml schema (binding configuration)? Yes. As a matter of fact, there's one article on IBM site that shows how to Use castor as serializer/deserializer together with axis. And you start from a schema..
>To what extent are castor-specific attributes and/or instructions >required to generate one's business objects? Meaning? Do you mean how can you generate your business objects from a schema? There's a tool in castor, called sourcegenerator, which generates a set of javaobjects from an xml schema >What is the object-tree created by the deserialization/unmarshalling >process and is it navigable using JXpath? Yes.. Castor is effectively a XML2J binding framework. (and not only..)

You should realize that working with Castor is lot less risky than using JAXB because you have the source code of Castor and Castor project is very active. Castor will also move document from your WSDL to the generated Java class which I believe JAXB doesn't do. The alternative that make sence is to use XMLBean with is open source and seem to be the most uptodate on XML Schema. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Chijioke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 19, 2004 10:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Axis and JAXB Has anybody tried to integrate JAXB into Axis' serialization framework?
