Paul, In the results you noted "..given that our previous experience with XMLBeans was that it wasn't the most performant option."
Are there any plans to actually document the XMLBeans perf as part of this comparison (You already do Axis2/ADB and Axis2/JAXB)? I've been using XMLBeans as my default databinding framework under Axis2 for a variety of reasons, the least of which is that it provides some impressive functionality and it has a mature and active community around it (which to me is rather important when choosing an open source implementation). So would not want to move away from that particular choice without some hard numbers.
