Create Java Beans from XML

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,

I have been working with XML and Java a lot lately and am wondering if there
is a tool out there that will take an XML file or DTD or Schema and create a
XML Java Bean. ?  This Java Bean would have getters and setters for all of
the fields plus parse and serialize methods for XML purposes.  

Below is an example of a small ExtraCharge Java Bean that I use in an Order
request type situation.  It would just be nice to have because of all the
different communication that I am doing in XML.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
Aaron Bartell
