Java

webserver + db The other night I was able to grab sometime and continue with one of my own personal Java projects. I wanted to glue together Tomcat and JDOs using JPOX and Derby . This IMHO forms a basic foundation platform for simple web apps. I tend to quickly put together very simple one task apps which are needed for a short period of time.

Then I started to wonder, could I also glue in JAXB and make it generate my JDO classes? Then I could import or export XML directly into the database (either via an web request or as part of some app logic).

Perhaps there is the opportunity to generate (with some help) the JDO metadata from the XML schema. Hmm, given my speed at which my personal project proceed this might be a while. I suspect there are some bright sparks that could quickly tell me the highs and lows of my idea.
