You can also bind to XML, writing some stuff in flow including the 
storing of the pipeline output (that pipeline with your generator) into 
DOM should be no problem. But I don't understand why don't bind directly 
to beans? That's at least what I do though I don't use enterprise beans.

This can be done by input modules.

If you store this XML structure somewhere the XModuleSource should work:
