XML-to-Java, and Java-to-XML

[Raghunandan Havaldar]

Hi,

I am experimenting with mapping an XML document to
Java object model, and vice-versa. Have a couple of
things on mind - using Java Beans, Reflection mechanism
and (mapper, lookup classes). 

I was wondering if somebody out there has worked and
developed some kind of a model to do this transformation.
(am sure someone has given it a try). 

If not, has anybody have ideas of how to go about doing it ?.

Currently, the XML documents are purely in a flat file
format. If the 'mapper', 'lookup' and related utility classes
can be defined, the XML documents could possibly be
stored in databases instead.

definition:
 'mapper' - maps a XML model to a Java object graph
(uses Java Beans's patterns and Reflection to achieve this).
Also, should be able to do Java object model to
an XML model (vice-versa).

'lookup'  - provides lookup of XML nodes in a DOM-based
 tree.

I have just started scratching the surface today. Any ideas,
suggestions or comments are welcome.

thanks,
raghu
