Good news. I am experimenting with the new JAXB support, but starting from a provided XML Schema document. I've come across one simple suggestion, which is to take the @MemberOrder#sequence ordering of the ViewModel instead from the @XmlType#propOrder sequence ordering generated by JAXB.
Irrespective of that small limitation, now I assume you can take an external schema, generate Java classes, add some @PersistenceCapable annotations for data persistence and bingo you have an simple data-management application. Essentially what I was dreaming of some months back :) Well almost, one other thing I realise now is that some of the constraints that you can specificy in your XML Schema are not translated to Java, so you still have to specify the original schema file when marshalling from Java to XML to impose those constraints (e.g min or max length of xs:string types).
