Generation of Java Beans to access XML data

Describes a technique to automatically generate a set of Java Beans accessing data encoded according to some XML document type definition (DTD). This technique does not support any XML-based markup but can be applied to a sufficiently large class of XML-compliant markup language to make the approach of practical interest. The generated Java Beans can be used as data accessors to deliver dynamic or static content for markup pages used in an Internet-style application. We briefly describe the technology environment into which our solution is embedded and provide an in-depth treatment of the mapping from XML data on to a flattened relational data model, including an example to illustrate our approach.
