RE: Combining JPA and Jaxb

["Boring, Jeff W (N-Viper)" <je...@lmco.com>]

Found an article that discusses how to do this (at the end), although
it's not OpenJPA specific.

Yes, I just found out (new to project) that is what we do. We have a
HUGE graph of subassemblies that we manually marshal from JPA to JaxB -
very ugly and slow. Has to be a better way and I think 1.0.1's XML
column mapping is the answer. But the manual is very thin here.

I would like to know that myself. In my company we generate two object 
graphs and use utility methods to copy data between JPA and JAXB POJOs.

I have been able to persist XML data as an XML Column using OpenJPA + JAXB.
At the application level, I work with regular POJOs and when I call
em.persist(), these objects are persisted into XML columns. You can also
marshal these POJOs to regular XML files.

Let me know if that is what you are trying to achieve. I did some of trial
and error until I got it to work, but can help you with what I know.

Vitor
