Using JAXB

Using JAXB

This chapter provides instructions for using several of the sample Java applications that were included in the Java WSDP. These examples demonstrate and build upon key JAXB features and concepts. It is recommended that you follow these procedures in the order presented.

After reading this chapter, you should feel comfortable enough with JAXB that you can:

Generate JAXB Java classes from an XML schema

Use schema-derived JAXB classes to unmarshal and marshal XML content in a Java application

Create a Java content tree from scratch using schema-derived JAXB classes

Validate XML content during unmarshalling and at runtime

Customize JAXB schema-to-Java bindings

The primary goals of the basic examples are to highlight the core set of JAXB functions using default settings and bindings. After familiarizing yourself with these core features and functions, you may wish to continue with Customizing JAXB Bindings for instructions on using five additional examples that demonstrate how to modify the default JAXB bindings.

Note: The Purchase Order schema, po.xsd, and the Purchase Order XML file, po.xml, used in these samples are derived from the W3C XML Schema Part 0: Primer (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/), edited by David C. Fallside.
