i most enjoyed the two articles you referenced.
most articles i read on generics are fairly
superficial and don't usually go as deep as yours:
by discussion how to actually introspect the
generic type information.
Yes, and I hope to be putting that research to practical use soon...
your article on annotations [vs config files]
makes one thing clear: that annotations are not
necessarily an improvement over jibx's existing
mechanism for specifying an o/x mapping. i still
like the idea of using a jibx namespace to annotate
an xml schema definition, specifically a relaxng
definition.
I think the next version of the tools (code->binding,
code+binding->schema, schema->code+binding) will have some good hooks
for supporting this sort of thing, and will be well enough documented to
allow you to do it. So if you've got an itch in this area, you'll soon
be able to scratch it... ;-) Likewise on the whole idea of RNG support
- the new code generation from schema should serve as a good basis for
building an RNG version, and if you're motivated to do this I can
certainly provide support in the form of advise and pointers..
i personally really enjoy more general types of
discussions on xml data binding. the majority of
the threads on the mailing list pertain to specific
jibx issues. i believe such discussions can be
a great source of creativity and ideas, and hope to
see more of them on the list in the months to come.
Sure, general discussions on data binding are great here. The more ideas
get tossed around the better.
