I am starting a new project where I need to do two things. Create a request and process a response from a web service.

For the request, I need to query my DB, convert the results into XML and send it out to the web service.

For the response, I need to take the XML response from the web service and insert it into the database.

From what I've read, Hibernate is a good tool to do this with.

I have found many Hibernate examples for handling the response but I haven't found anything related to the request.

Is there a way that I can take the results from my database query and map it to XML using Hibernate or do I need to use some combination of something and Hibernate like HyperJAXB to accomplish this?

Can someone direct me to some examples?

Thanks,
