[ajug-members] Hibernate/XMLBeans or any other alternatives?

[amit sharma]

                              Hello all,

I just wanted a general opinion on XML-to-database persistence methodologies. We have a set of persistence APIs that has been built using the normal DAO/DTO pattern. The incoming data is always in the XML format, and we use Apache XMLBeans objects as the DTOs. We are planning to re-write the APIs using Hibernate to get rid of plenty of dirty JDBC code, and from the various posts out there, it appears as if Hibernate cannot use XMLBeans as its data beans? Wanted to check what alternatives others out there are using instead. I looked at HyperJAXB2 (https://hyperjaxb2.dev.java.net), but ran into several issues (like OutOfMemory and then size of methods being too large leading to a failure in compilation so far) trying to just generate the beans for my schema (the schema is fairly large). I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks
-Amit
