Comparing XML "Data Binding" in Java and .NET

Comparing XML "Data Binding" in Java and .NET

There's an article over on the O'Reilly Network that compares the implementation of XML data binding in .NET to an implementation in Java called Castor. Basically, Castor is to Java as XSD is to .NET. It parses an XML Schema document and emits .java source files for each type.

I don't know if I like the author's choice of using the term "data binding" as it has a slightly different meaning usually: binding visual elements to data sources via some sort of implementation of the MVC pattern.

It's not the author's choice, it's SUN's choice, since they have developed the JAXB, Java Arhitecture for XML Binding. I agree, it's confusing.
