public class JAXBContext
extends JAXBContext

INTERNAL:

Purpose:Provide a TopLink implementation of the JAXBContext interface.

Responsibilities:

• Create Marshaller instances
• Create Unmarshaller instances
• Create Binder instances
• Create Introspector instances
• Create Validator instances
• Generate Schema Files

This is the TopLink JAXB 2.0 implementation of javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext. This class is created by the JAXBContextFactory and is used to create Marshallers, Unmarshallers, Validators, Binders and Introspectors. A JAXBContext can also be used to create Schema Files.

Constructor Detail

JAXBContext

protected JAXBContext()

JAXBContext

public JAXBContext(XMLContext context)

Create a JAXBContext for a given XMLContext. The XMLContext contains the metadata about the Object to XML mappings.

JAXBContext

public JAXBContext(XMLContext context,
                   Generator generator,
                   java.lang.reflect.Type[] boundTypes)

Create a JAXBContext. The XMLContext contains the metadata about the Object to XML mappings.

JAXBContext

public JAXBContext(XMLContext context,
                   Generator generator,
                   TypeMappingInfo[] boundTypes)

Create a JAXBContext. The XMLContext contains the metadata about the Object to XML mappings.

Method Detail

getXMLContext

public XMLContext getXMLContext()

Return the XMLContext associated with this JAXBContext.

generateSchema

public void generateSchema(SchemaOutputResolver outputResolver)

Generate a Schema for this JAXBContext

Overrides:

generateSchema in class JAXBContext

Parameters:

outputResolver - Class that decides where the schema file (of the given namespace URI) will be written

generateSchema

public void generateSchema(SchemaOutputResolver outputResolver,
                           java.util.Map<javax.xml.namespace.QName,java.lang.reflect.Type> additonalGlobalElements)

Generate a Schema for this JAXBContext

Parameters:

outputResolver - Class that decides where the schema file (of the given namespace URI) will be written

additonalGlobalElements - Map of additional global elements to be added to the generated XSD. Note that if any QName in this map conflicts with another global element (for example from a TypeMappingInfo object) then the element generated from this map will be the one that is present in the XSD.

createMarshaller

public JAXBMarshaller createMarshaller()

Create a JAXBMarshaller. The JAXBMarshaller is used to convert Java objects to XML.

Specified by:

createMarshaller in class JAXBContext

Returns:

a Marshaller object

createUnmarshaller

public JAXBUnmarshaller createUnmarshaller()

Create a JAXBUnmarshaller. The JAXBUnmarshaller is used to convert XML into Java objects.

Specified by:

createUnmarshaller in class JAXBContext

Returns:

an Unmarshaller object

createValidator

public JAXBValidator createValidator()

Create a JAXBValidator. The JAXBValidator is used to validate Java objects against an XSD.

Specified by:

createValidator in class JAXBContext

Returns:

a Validator object

createBinder

public JAXBBinder createBinder()

Create a JAXBBinder. The JAXBBinder is used to preserve unmapped XML Data.

Overrides:

createBinder in class JAXBContext

Returns:

always a new valid Binder object.

createBinder

public <T> JAXBBinder createBinder(java.lang.Class<T> nodeClass)

Create a JAXBBinder. The JAXBBinder is used to preserve unmapped XML Data.

Overrides:

createBinder in class JAXBContext

Parameters:

nodeClass - The DOM Node class to use

Returns:

always a new valid Binder object.

createJAXBIntrospector

public JAXBIntrospector createJAXBIntrospector()

Creates a JAXBIntrospector object. The JAXBIntrospector allows the user to access certain pieces of metadata about an instance of a JAXB bound class.

Overrides:

createJAXBIntrospector in class JAXBContext

Returns:

always return a non-null valid JAXBIntrospector object.
