// the classloader will use the classpath to find the mapping file
// it can be in a jar file or a war file

Mapping mapping = new Mapping();
mapping.loadMapping( this.getClass().getResource(
mappingFile ).toString() );
java.io.Writer os = response.getWriter();
Marshaller marshaller = new Marshaller(os);
marshaller.setMapping(mapping_);
// obj is a javabean obj that you have
// mapped out in your mapping.xml
marshaller.marshal(obj);
