Sure. We took a version of CastorPsmlManagerService called
DatabasePsmlManagerService that is being worked on by a group of people --
our contact is Atul Dambalkar ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), but there are several
other authors. The version we have of DatabasesPsmlManagerService isn't
finished, but looks as though it anticipates that a PSML will be stored as a
binary chunk, and we have that information already in other spots in a
database, so it'd be redundant to store it as an XML in the database that
essentially summarizes information already available elsewhere. Therefore,
we added unmarshal(Class, Node) (I think -- haven't got the code in front
of me at the moment) to org.apache.jetspeed.xml.api.portletmarkup.Portlets;
that calls org.exolab.castor.xml.Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Node) in Castor.
That let us create a Portlets directly from a DOM instead of using a Reader,
so we could skip writing and reading a file as an intermediary step.
I can send bits of code to anybody who's interested. If other people are
interested in doing this, the unmarshal() bit we added to Portlets is pretty
innocent and might be a candidate for inclusion in the code base.
Best,
Dave Halsted

Subject: PSML from DOM Document
I'm especially interested in this point because I've considered using dbXML
as a native XML database to store psml. dbXML allows me to query the
database and return a DOM Document, or as SAX stream. This may be a quick
solution to a scalable storage of psml, without having to map to a
relational dbms.
A very brief summary of how you accomplished this would be helpful!
