XML Data Binding for the Java Platform
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 1999 08:54:29 -0700 From: Mark Reinhold <Mark.Reinhold@Eng.Sun.COM> To: xml-dev@ic.ac.uk Subject: ANNOUNCE: XML Data Binding for the Java Platform
Yesterday a JSR (Java Specification Request) entitled "XML Data Binding" was submitted to the Java Community Process. From the description:
The proposed specification will define an XML data-binding facility for the Java Platform. Such a facility compiles an XML schema into one or more Java classes. These automatically-generated classes handle the translation between XML documents that follow the schema and interrelated instances of the derived classes. They also ensure that the constraints expressed in the schema are maintained as instances of the classes are manipulated.
An accompanying design note was also published on java.sun.com. For more information please see:
