XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Anoop kumar V <anoopkumarv AT gmail.com>]

Thanks Wolfgang,

So do you mean I have not much use for NUX and I am better of connecting to
the oracle database using datadirect's XJC and once I get the required
fields - just run the XQuery queries??

Just making sure that nux has no part to play in here...

Thanks,
Anoop
