A number of tools allow manual configuration of the various names used in a 
mapping.  This is particularly important for C/C++ where the set of 
characters allowed by XML is much bigger than what is allowed by C/C++.  To 
be honest, we don't go down to the level of giving control over the names of 
enumerations.  This is something we could (and should) do without much 
effort.

One thing I did mean to mention is that, from what I have read, XMLBeans 
alleges to take a slightly different approach to databinding from other 
tools.  Unfortunately I can't remember what this is!

Also, have to tried JAXB?
