I wanted a better way to bind node-specific behavior to xsd elements. Right now, the jax-rs annotations bind REST paths to xsd elements and it works but...

I wanted to extend bindings for other structures (like queues)
and avoid using java-specific dependencies.

Then I realized I can define my own xsd element wrapper:

The wrapper defines web meta-data, such as a REST url, Soap url, queue, security, etc and now

bing!

I can also use more specialized templates with the original xsd schema and it's flexible enough that I can probably generate the entire e-commerce system from templates.
