Use of pre-existing EclipseLink ORM and MOXy mappings

A DBWS service may be constructed using pre-existing EclipseLink ORM and OXM maps (both Project classes and Project deployment XML are supported) with the following naming convention:

1. identical case-sensitive Project names

<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<object-persistence version="Eclipse Persistence Services - @VERSION@ (Build @BUILD_NUMBER@)"
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/xsds/persistence"
  >
  <name>Example</name>

 or 

import org.eclipse.persistence.sessions.Project;
public class SomeORProject extends Project {
  public SomeORProject () {
    setName("Example");
    ...
}
public class SomeOXProject extends Project {
  public SomeOXProject () {
    setName("Example");
    ...
}

2. identical case-sensitive aliases for Descriptors that are common between the projects

<class-mapping-descriptor xsi:type="relational-class-mapping-descriptor">
  <class>some.package.SomeClass</class>
  <alias>SomeAlias</alias>
  ...
<class-mapping-descriptor xsi:type="xml-class-mapping-descriptor">
  <class>some.package.SomeClass</class>
  <alias>SomeAlias</alias>

Any existing named queries from the EclipseLink ORM map may be exposed as query operations for the EclipseLink DBWS service; additional Insert/Update/Delete/Query operations can be added. Pre-existing domain classes can be bundled with the service so that they are available at runtime.
