RE: default values for created beans

That would be very usefull. I am currently getting around it by jumping
in at the point of instantiation. I then check over the schema of the
newly created bean, adding any default string values, and instantiating
child elements a number of times equal to the value of minOccurs.

It would be a very clean mechanism to be able to define a complete
default structure from within the schema and have that then represented
when you instantiate an XmlBean.

Cheers
Marius.
