Binding Java to Manual Class Definition

I have an XML schema for which I will need to create Java classes. This is not a very large scheme, I would say that it will lead to 20 classes. I am trying to weigh whether to use automatic binding (such as supplied in JAXB or JiBX), or manually write my own classes and use something like XStream to sort / unset the sort.

What are the advantages / disadvantages of writing your own classes, rather than using a binding program.

In addition, I use a binding program, I am bound to it forever. For example, if I use the JAXB binding compiler to create classes, should I use JAXB for all marshalling / unmarshalling?

ps I saw the following XML binding / serialization questions that were useful but did not answer my question completely: xml-serialization-in-java and java-xml-binding

I do not think that your question has a definitive answer. But I can give you some advice. Here are a few things to consider:

  • It takes a long time to write marshalling and non-marking code, especially for the first time.

  • You will have to spend a lot of time studying the nuances of your DOM library (Xerces or its equivalent).

  • There are many duplicates, so you will end up having to write some helper classes.
