Aside from the license issue, you might be interested in woodstox. I've
found its about 33% faster than the RI.

Good morning!
I'm returning to the jsr173_api.jar licensing issue
I noted about some time ago.
We've found out that the jsr173_api.jar bundled with XMLBeans
is most likely ripped off from Bea's reference implementation
available at http://ftpna2.bea.com/pub/downloads/jsr173.jar.
However, Bea's distribution doesn't explicitely define
_any license at all_ for the api jar (which, at least here in
Finland, means that legally you have no right of any kind to
use it!).
Thus, we're using Sun's implementation of JSR-173 from their
Web services developer pack.
(http://java.sun.com/webservices/downloads/webservicespack.html)
Sun's implementation has proper license documentation which
allows you to use and redistribute jsr173_api.jar. In addition,
it seems to work with XMLBeans out of the box (at least at runtime,
didn't check code generation yet).
I'd recommend XMLBeans authors to switch over to Sun's
implementation in the official XMLBeans distribution, too.
The seemingly minor license problem might not be a problem
for you as individual developers, but it may prevent other
parties from using XMLBeans. Companies just cannot take such
immaterial property right risks.
From a rainy but happy Helsinki,
Panu
