Xbeans 2.0 and Communication Pack Released [TheServerSide.Com]
When I first stumbled on XBeans I thought it was kinda cool and it certainly was an influence on the creation of Jelly. The downside of XBeans is that it relies on the W3C DOM API and provides just one way of pipelining things together, using DOM.
Where I think Jelly has improved on this is that many different pipelining mechanisms and semantics can be mixed together in a very flexible way. So you can work directly with Java Beans, with DOM, with XPath, with Ant tasks, with SQL, SOAP, XSLT, Swing, HTTP all together along with mixing and matching scripting languages like beanshell, Jython, JavaScript etc. Plus underneath there's a SAX pipeline if you need it too. So you can mix and match lots of different semantics, pipelines and technologies all together in one XML file.
