Answer 1

Note: I'm the EclipseLink JAXB (MOXy) lead and a member of the JAXB 2 (JSR-222) expert group.

The EclipseLink Wiki contains many JAXB (JSR-222) examples. The following one is aimed at beginners:

• http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/MOXy/GettingStarted

I also have a very active Java XML & JSON Binding blog that covers many JAXB concepts. Some posts you may find helpful as a beginner include:

• http://blog.bdoughan.com/2011/08/jaxb-and-java-io-files-streams-readers.html
• http://blog.bdoughan.com/2010/09/processing-atom-feeds-with-jaxb.html

• http://blog.bdoughan.com/2010/10/jaxb-and-shared-references-xmlid-and.html

If you mean XML binding in terms of JAX-WS (SOAP) or JAX-RS (RESTful) Web Services, you may find the following links useful:
