I never used JAXB, although I evaluated it briefly in the past. With
everyone gradually moving to Java 6, it probably warrants a closer
looks from us in Cayenne. More to the point, I think the annotations
approach should work, but that will require some experimentation. So
try it, and let us know if you run into any troubles.
