Hi Ivan,
In response to your comments.
1) XMLBeans should preserve ordering regardless of the order of method
invocation. Are you not seeing this? I know there is a JIRA issue open
regarding setXXX() when <xs:any> occurs in the sequence? Is it
possible this is what you are running into?
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-319

2) I think this is standard apache infrastructure and might be better
directed towards those alias'.

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
