Hey all,

Not sure if this question has been asked already, but....

Regarding the model annotations supporting XML, has there been any thought about using JAXB annotations as opposed to the current Sapphire specific annotations?

Just throwing that out there.

Best,
Rob

JAXB annotations aren't a standalone API designed to work for all XML binding needs. They are part of the JAXB system for XML binding to a pojo. As such JAXB has assumptions and expectations about how things work and those are surfaced in the JAXB annotations. Trying to use JAXB annotations on Sapphire models would not result in a good fit. Maybe some basic stuff work be ok, but not beyond that.

There is also the issue of confusing JAXB tooling which would be expecting JAXB annotations to be used on classes that JAXB runtime would know what to do with. When faced with Sapphire classes, the tooling would likely flag a bunch of errors.
