[jdom-interest] instantiate java object with data from xml doc

[Laurent Bihanic]

Hi,

If you want the XML to be generated directly from the Java class and parsed 
back into Java, you may consider JOX (http://www.wutka.com/jox.html) or JSX 
(http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~bren/JSX/).

Otherwise, if who want full control on how the XML maps to the Java objects, 
try Jato (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jato). This product uses XML scripts 
to define the mapping between the XML and Java objects.
