I have spent a great deal of time fighting with it as well.  xmlcontent is 
crazy powerful and it's frustrating to have to deal with such a limited 
iterate tag for it.

Particularly frustrating is having to covert the basic opencms types from 
string -> basic java type.    It'd be nice if that was handled for us.

Thanks for sending along the libraries, I'll take a look at them.

Opencms team, are there people working on this already?
