Description
Here is a thread on motivation behind deprecating XML servialization package:
http://markmail.org/message/uffbbzahbzskpvne
and one asking who's using it:
http://markmail.org/thread/y2jwyksa2oltvgdi
A quote: "I suggest to deprecate XML serialization package in 3.1 and remove it in 3.2. There were past discussions why it is not a working solution for real life
applications (DOM, singletons, etc.). Also real life serialization/deserialization patterns are different from what we provide there (at least I couldn't adopt it to any of my own needs). And finally there's nobody around willing to address these deficiencies. "
If somebody wants to revive XML serialization work as a part of Cayenne, it would be cool to build it on JAXB or XStream and address all current deficiencies.
