JAXB isn't a general solution.  What if you just want to store the XML
file for later use?  Or want to put it into an NXD which isn't schema
aware?  Or want to have a "receiver" component check the doc structure
and if it passes turn it over to a separate "handler" component that
does whatever to read the data, possibly using JAXB but not
necessarily.  Or what if you just don't like JAXB?
