JAXB vs. Castor or Zeus

843834Feb 12 2002 — edited Oct 24 2002
Hi,

How does JAXB compare to things like Castor or Zeus?

Specifically, does Castor/Zeus support DTD's or do they only work with XML schemas.

Also, do Casor/Zeus support all the features JAXB supports (or is supposed to support)?

I read through a little tutorial about using Castor and it seemed to be a little more complex than JAXB. Is this true? With JAXB, all you have to write is your DTD and binding schema, run it through the xjc compiler and you have your XML classes. Castor seemed to require more more steps to get the XML java classes. Unless I just misread the Castor stuff.

Any info would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Nate
