It's pretty much what *I* want ... the basic idea from data binding that the object model looks like the structure of the data with fields that correspond to element names, along with the basic ideas of XPath to locate data that don't have an obvious location in the object model. No clumsy (and often impractical) requirement to start with a schema, no ugly tree navigation that gives most people the heebie-jeebies. And of course no need to deal with the raw syntax, or event-driven programming, that makes DOM alternatives even more scary to non-geeks. I'd say that they nailed the 80:20 point, at least from what I can tell without actually having used it. Off to download Weblogic Workshop :-)
