To separate the logic layer from the data layer.  You don't want
really want xml interfaces in amongst your business rules (sorry I
really hate that term, but don't know a more appropriate one)

The pojo shields your code from and changes in the structure of the
XML (you'd just need to modify your parser to reflect the changes in
the XML)

Not sure how else to do it?
