I used to be a Castor XML user and a few years swiry happy tched to JAXB
and have been a very happy customer. JAXB mailing list and user
community is incredibly active and helpful:

JAXB is very powerful and requires some understanding and knowlegde
to make use of its customization features. Note that it is really quite
rock solid. MY open source project freebXML Registry [1] has been using
it since JAXB 1.0 became available for numerous schemas. We have never
found it to be lacking in our experience.

I was able to generate the bindings with some JAXB customizations that
were needed.

Please find the binding for SAML 2 that the freebXML Registry project
[1] uses at:

http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/tmp/saml2.0/oasis-saml2.0.jar   (compiled
classes)
http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/tmp/saml2.0/oasis-saml2.0-src.jar   (java
source files)
http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/tmp/saml2.0/oasis-saml2.0-doc.jar   (javadoc)

Please note that the freebXML Registry project defered our
implementation of SAML 2 SSO for tactical reasons and therefor the
bindings have not been thoroughly exercised
and vetted. Please send any feedback you may have to me. Thanks.
