[10:35:46 EST(-0500)] <dstn> hey athena7, you here?
[10:36:31 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yay ... all the IBasicEntity caches for uP3 are now in ehcache
[10:37:25 EST(-0500)] <dstn> Nice! I've got to look at ehcache for the weather portlet.
[10:38:31 EST(-0500)] <athena7> hello!
[10:40:33 EST(-0500)] <dstn> I looked into JAXB this weekend and was studying your weather portlet and was wondering where you got the yahoo xsd's from? Did you generate those? I couldn't seem to find them on yahoo's developer page.
[10:41:09 EST(-0500)] <athena7> oh, i wrote them
[10:41:18 EST(-0500)] <athena7> they didn't seem to exist anywhere
[10:41:58 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i'm totally open to using xstream or anything else that makes sense
[10:42:02 EST(-0500)] <dstn> oh nice!
[10:42:16 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> mmm xstream
[10:42:58 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah eric seems to like it, and i trust eric 
[10:43:07 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i've found dom4j to be kind of cumbersome
[10:43:19 EST(-0500)] <dstn> I looked at that xstream also. It looked really cool but its FAQ's said its more of serialization tool than binding tool.
[10:43:20 EST(-0500)] <athena7> and jaxb worked well for this, but it doesnt' work well for all things and it can get irritating
[10:43:50 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I've only ever used it as a XML -> POJO binding tool
[10:43:53 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i can't seem to get my eclipse to recognize when i'm relying on generated source
[10:44:14 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and it is very fast, using xpp3 instead of the standard XML parsing APIs
[10:44:16 EST(-0500)] <dstn> JAXB seemed a bit complex. I'm not familiar with how to write those xsd's either. I have to look more into it.
[10:44:39 EST(-0500)] <dstn> well shoot, I'll have to try it then ... lol
[10:44:53 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah, the overhead of figuring out jaxb wasn't trivial
[10:45:02 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i mean i'm glad i did it because i learned a bunch
[10:45:10 EST(-0500)] <athena7> but it sounds like xstream might be more approachable
[10:45:26 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah that was the other selling point of xstream for me
[10:45:33 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it was pretty easy to write the mapping
