Oracle Fusion Middleware provides support for using JAXB and EclipseLink OXM to map Java classes to XML data. You can store and retrieve data in memory in any XML format without implementing a specific set of XML routines for the program's class structure. This support enables you to perform the following:

• Map Java objects to XML data

• Map XML data back to Java objects

For design information about external metadata for JAXB mappings, visit the following URL:

You can also map Java classes to XML data when integrating an EJB with SOA composite applications. For more information, see Integrating Enterprise JavaBeans with Composite Applications .
