I think having XmlBeans support would be great, but I'm confused by your footprint motivation. After a quick inspection, XmlBeans is ~2.7 times as big as Jaxb impl:

[10:41:51] dain$ ls -lh ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/xmlbeans/xmlbeans/ 2.3.0/xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar -rw-r--r-- 1 dain dain 2M Oct 19 22:16 /Users/dain/.m2/ repository/org/apache/xmlbeans/xmlbeans/2.3.0/xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar

And since Java6 includes JaxB, overtime you will be able to drop that also.

Anyway, I think having XmlBean support is cool... I'm just a bit confused about the footprint comment.

We are currently using XFire in the AppFuse project and it works great.

We are aware that Apache CXF is the next generation of XFire. However, we've also optimized the XFire footprint[1] to be as small as possible. Part of this optimization was removing JAXB 2 support and using XMLBeans instead. The XFire Migrating Guide[2] says that XMLBeans will be supported in CXF
2.1.

What is the timeline for a 2.1 release?

Thanks,

Matt
