Network Solutions charges an unreasonable $35/year for domain registration/renewal. If you call them to request a transfer to another registrar, they will lower it to a $15/year, if you stay with them. This is still an unreasonable price, but if you want to stick with NS, this is the way to go.

I’ve been thinking I wanted to learn about JAXB 2.0, because DOM (and SAX) code usually looks gross and is gross to write. To start learning, I visited this tutorial linked from the JAXB reference implementation home page and I think I’ve learned enough.

For a simple XML schema which defines 8 elements, the JAXB compiler generates 45 Java classes spread over 3 packages. To use the classes, I need to include 7 jar files in my application.

I’m going to stick to the DOM.
