Hi, Just want to say a couple of things, which might have been already told, if so, my apologies.
First, when I generate XML document from generated Java classes, it would be much better not to depend on the order of the methods I have to call to populate the Xml Object graph. For example, when I need to add a child element by invoking parent.setXXX(child) method, I need to fully initialize and set up the child object, and only then call parent.setXXX(). This is a bit annoying in my opinion, because it limits my code style. We create an object graph, don't we, so why there are dependencies on which object I attach to it first? And secondly, the mail list. I understand that there is a sacred tradition going back many years to have a mailing list for the project. But why no forum? Or google groups? Just to post this question one needs to go to goole mail, exchange a pack messages to subscribe, then regularly get messages he's not quite interested in, then finally unsubscribe. Wouldn't a simple forum be better? Not to mention the searching capabilities of mailling lists. You have to use google to search threads online, which is worse than using internal search tools. That said, I want to thank Apache.org and XmlBeans for the magnificent work they make publicly available. It is truly amazing. -- Kind Regards Ivan
