Thanks Bertrand  !
        Do you think going through beans -> hibernate -> DB is better than just 
building SQL's from the XML ? Maybe Hibernate is an Overkill here ?
        Does cocoon has some means to easily build SQL from XML source? Maybe 
the SQLTransformer ? I am not sure..

        Thanks again
Elad

If your app's environment is Cocoon it makes sense, there are several options 
to do this:

-Cocoon Forms bindings. This is interesting if you're importing objects that 
you're already using in forms, as you'd have the declarations already.

  - An interesting pattern to convert external XML to java objects is shown by 
Ovidiu Predescu at 
http://www.webweavertech.com/ovidiu/weblog/archives/000255.html#000255,
declaring your java components as XSLT extensions to be able to call methods on 
them.

-Or, use more sophisticated XML-to-java mappings like Castor or XMLBeans, 
depending on the complexity of your input data.
