Hi-
we've been using XMLbeans successfully in our project for quite some time and now have a need to convert java objects back into XML, reconstructing a new XML doc from the modified beans.
Can anyone suggest the best way of going about this?
thanks!

So I've been looking at xstream and I am not sure it will do what I need:
I want to:
1) pass json as text from a client to an ejb and create a pojo - xstream can do this
2) generate xml from the pojo with xstream - xstream can do this too BUT - no namespace support - I need namespaces in my xml.
Anyone have any solutions for this (creating xml with namespaces?)
There's a ton of Java-to-XML-binding tools available (and that's a clue to your google keywords ). JAXB is the most mainstream but there are others that aren't obsolete.
Forget JAXB - way too complex and problematic to work with (anyone ever have fun with web services using JAXB?)
I really liked what xstream did - I just wanted it to do a bit more - handle a ns - oh well
