If no class exists then the node is just a node. That doesn't seem sufficient to me. What's the package name? What about classes that should represent multiple element types? What about the different semantics associated with different namespaces? Suppose you want the element and class names to be different, perhaps because you and your users work with different natural languages? (And I'll confess to having deferred the homework to finding out exactly how XML names and Java names differ! I'd expect them not to be the same.) The model I'm working with right now does include a mapping of name to class, but it's not direct (e.g. can be many to one) and is aware of namespaces. It can be statically configured (e.g. an XML element containing mappings -- embedded, or in a separate document) as well as algorithmically configured (i.e. a factory class). - Dave xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
