I have a generator for exactly that mapping, albeit for C# rather than Java.

Creating that mapping is precisely the reason I need a schema. That
and being able to document the protocol:

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-hallambaker-omnibroker-02.txt

The code examples and the text are both generated from the schema.
That generator is set up to produce C# but C is only a little bit
harder.
