RE: [JXTA discuss] Question on Microsoft Patent

Dear Bernard,

I am not a lawyer, but I think prior art should have prevented Microsoft to
have receveid the patent in the first place.

I don't know when they applied for the patent.

But I know this: O'Reilly published the following book in May 2002:
"Java & XML Data Binding" by Brett McLaughlin, ISBN 0-596-00278-5.

In his book, Brett McLaughlin mentions many XML specificaions, technologies
and XML serialization deserializaion based on Sun and others work.

Obviously, that book could not have been written before the various items
described or mentioned came into existence.

If you cannot find the book, I can hand it to Sun Belgium who could arrange
to
have it delivered to you via your internal mail.

Michel
