Hibernate version:

3.1.3

My Question:

Is it possible to transform a POJO instance into its XML representation without store it to DB and load it back again in DOM4J mode?

I want to implement a small converter application, which get a POJO instance from somewhere and outputs the XML representation as defined in the Hibernate Mapping. I wont like to setup a HSQLDB, generate database schema save the POJO und load it in DOM4J mode. I like to build a Hibernate Configuration and be able to do the conversation with help of class metadata.


Thanks

Alex
