Hi I want to store and retrieve Java Beans into Jackabbit w/o using OCM. Why I do not want to use OCM is because I might not be able to annotate all the Java Beans that I want to store to my repository. So if there is an approach that does not need annotations to the fields I am all ears for that too.
What I am doing currently is to use the Castor API to convert Java Beans to XML and then convert the XML to a Node. This part works pretty well. The problem is when I want to do the reverse. I cannot get the right starting point to convert a javax.jcr.Node to an xml structure. To me it feels like conversion of a Node to XML API should be readily available and for some reason I am not able to get my hands on it. Do you know how to do what I am trying to do? Thanks Boni
