There are a few blurbs in the documentation about mapping POJO entities to xml documents. I was curious if anyone has really used this to any degree. We have had some discussions on using Hibernate as a framework for managing entities that we receive via xml messages over tcp/ip. We believe that we can probably map these entities in a usable way but I am not sure what other issues may arrive. Does anyone have any experience with this? Maybe some insight?

Any information is greatly appreciated.
