I have to implement mapping between some domain model object and xml document representation. It's actually working production application. Xml schema could be suited to needs of current application. I'm thinking about two free/open source libraries.
Sun promotes Java add-in support for JAXB standard. It looks heavier, and has harder initial learning curve. Last implementation of JAXB 2.0+ gives tools (lek automatic class generation) and aids to simplify development (annotation based mapping definition). So JAXB as officially supported standard should gain more user base.
The good and tested third party solution is JXM (Java XML Mapping). It's default configuration allows fast implementation and mapping of desired object structures. You only have to keep standard node and attribute names, that is right if you are designing XML from scratch using "java code centric" approach. Other possibilities are also enabled by adding some marshaling/unmarshaling code.
As Blogger.com added polling feature, I've posted poll, so readers could give opinion about their favorite XML/object mapping Java library.
