I'm trying to figure out the simplest way to map an xml file to to a plain old java object. Note: That in my example the xml doesn't quite match up with my intended POJO. ///////// THE XML <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Animal> <standardName> <Name>Cat</Name> </standardName> <standardVersion> <VersionIdentifier>V02.00</VersionIdentifier> </standardVersion> </Animal> ////// THE INTENDED POJO class Animal { private String name; private String versionIdentifier; } Regular JAXB (with annotations) won't work as the JAXM Element name annotations don't allow me to specifiy nested elements.

Does JAXB support modular code generation? Most of my background is with JibX for XML marshalling, but for legacy reasons our firm is using JAXB. One feature that was available for JIBX was modular code generation . Say I have a main schema but I have several different envelopes for that schema. With JibX I could create a jar file out of the JibX'ed core schema, and then in separate projects I could JibX my envelope schemas and simply point to the shared jar instead of having to duplicate the code generation of the core schemas for each envelope. I don't yet see a way for JAXB to handle this -
