Patrick, I suggest that you to approach Geronimo and perhaps Avalon. Avalon has their own metadata, and it is a VERY contentious area within that project. It seems that both might benefit from being JAMS users.
I also encourage you to approach Jakarta Commons, and take a look at http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/attributes/. Perhaps what you are doing should subsume/replace Commons Attributes. It would, however, have to pass through the Incubator since XMLBeans is still in the Incubator. If XMLBeans were already graduated to XML, I believe that the transfer could happen directly. --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
