Can anybody outline me functionalities of Apache Castor vs. Eclipse XSD
framework? or any other Eclipse frameworks covering all Apache Castor
functionalities
Or reformulating, I have the task to reimplement existing application
(workflow designer) in Swing using GEF with EMF. The problem is that I do
not see how I can match already created with Castor files in XML (that is,
workflow definitions in XML, associated with wf nodes data in XML, palettes
definitions, templates, etc. uploaded/downloaded to/from server-side BPM
engine) using EMF/GEF

Guennadi,
I don't think they are really comparable. XSD's purpose is to model XML
Schema, i.e., to represent XML Schema instances, whereas Castor is yet
another XML binding approach, which is more comparable to EMF's XML
Schema -> Ecore -> Java binding. If you have a schema representing the
XML syntax, you might want to following this tutorial and compare the
results to Castor's result:

Guennadi,
Sorry, I have no expertise in Castor on which to draw comparisons, so I
don't know which particular features you are hoping to see. Certainly
everything you see demonstrated in the tutorial can be done
programmatically at runtime, i.e., given a schema, you'll be able to
read and write XML instances that conform it, even without generating
any code but using dynamic Ecore instead...

Guennadi,
Sorry, I have no expertise in Castor on which to draw comparisons, so I
don't know which particular features you are hoping to see. Certainly
everything you see demonstrated in the tutorial can be done
programmatically at runtime, i.e., given a schema, you'll be able to
read and write XML instances that conform it, even without generating
any code but using dynamic Ecore instead...
