Hello,
I am pleased to announce the development of a set of components which
provide XML Metadata Object Persistence (XMOP). These components provide for
the automatic persistence of COM and Java objects in an XML DTD format known
as the Simple Object Definition Language (SODL).

The XMOPFactory object aggregates COM components and exposes the IMarshal
and IPersistStream interfaces driven by typelibrary information. The
aggregated COM component gains the ability to Marshal By Value (MBV) in an
automatic fashion. This facility can be provided to Java objects through the
use of introspection.

More information is available at:

http://jabr.ne.mediaone.net/xml.htm

The SODL DTD is at http://jabr.ne.mediaone.net/documents/sodl10.dtd

I will begin beta testing of these components shortly. Interested parties
should e-mail me.
