Title: EMF domain modelling and SOA tools

Hi all,

I was thinking about possibility to integrate EMF modelling with services provided by different SOA tools/layers. For example once we have a EMF Model (ecore) for the application domain model we could do multiple things (e.g. persist it to database with EMF Teneo/Hibernate/CDO) which is for example generate an XML Schema with the java code according to the model.
So, now if we could use the XML Schema in the WSDL then we could create services that are using domain model as parameters.
After it we could think further and say we could annotate SCA descriptors or any other logical service representations (e.g. WSDLs) with the references to ECORE and get a common modelling solution not only for Service/BP modelling but also for Domain modelling.

I had a look on the EMF project and found one very interesting one:

This project is unfortunately dead right now however some first implementation look very promising. 

What do you think about it?
Have you done something similar already?
