Thanks James.
I would appreciate it if you can add the response you gave me below to the Betwixt online FAQ. I have people asking me once in a while what tool to use for java-xml mapping. BTW, does betwixt unmarshall DOM nodes as well as JavaBeans? How about JavaBeans with DOM nodes as attributes. I know that JXPath works with DOM and JavaBeans alike. I think Betwixt will be appropriate for implementing <xf:instance/> element in the XMLForm framework of Cocoon 2.1. I plan to try it as soon as Betwixt is released. http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/xmlform/index.html Cheers, Ivelin ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Strachan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jakarta Commons Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 9:38 AM Subject: Re: [VOTE] move Betwixt into commons proper (was Re: Betwixt &MethodUpdaters) > Hi Ivelin > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ivelin Ivanov" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > James, > > > > > > Since Betwixt is approaching release and there are several projects which > > use it for real, do you plan to run a set of benchmarks against the main > > competitors: Castor, JAXB, etc. ? > > With the wide selection available a publicly published set of benchmarks > can > > help people understand what each tool is best in. > > Great idea.
