Creating valid XML from the data bindings

[Yuzo Kanomata <yuzok@ics.uci.edu>]

Hi Steve,

I am including a test .java file which shows the process of creating GXL 
from scratch using the data bindings. It also includes the validate method 
which is available on all objects which you can use to validate the object 
against the XML Schema def I've come up with.

You'll need to include in the classpath jaxen, xbean, and xbean_path and 
any of the data_bindings (e.g., alpha-4-xmltypes.jar), all previous 
bindings work with the code here.

The code has comments in case you want a closer look as to how you create 
and populate the classes. It will take you more time than a straight 
System.out.println(), but you it may help if there is any confusion on 
valid (XML-wise) GXL. You are welcome to use the program to test individual 
Objects on your own if you need a small scale validator.

Doing this exercise exposed a bug in XML Beans (truncates xmlns:xlink to 
xmlns:xlin), and I have submitted it to Apache, I may poke around and fix 
it my self, sounds easy enough.
