  • Field Details

    • DEFAULT_NAMESPACE_REMAP

      static final String DEFAULT_NAMESPACE_REMAP
      The property that you can specify to JAXBContext.newInstance(java.lang.String) to reassign the default namespace URI to something else at the runtime.

      The value of the property is String, and it is used as the namespace URI that succeeds the default namespace URI.

      Since:
      2.0 EA1
      See Also:
    • TYPE_REFERENCES

      static final String TYPE_REFERENCES
      The property that you can specify to JAXBContext.newInstance(java.lang.String) to put additional JAXB type references into the JAXBContext.

      The value of the property is Collection<TypeInfo>. Those TypeInfos can then be used to create XMLBridges.

      This mechanism allows additional element declarations that were not a part of the schema into the created JAXBContext.

    • getElementName

      @Nullable QName getElementName(@NotNull Object o) throws jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException
      If the given object is bound to an element in XML by JAXB, returns the element name.
      Returns:
      null if the object is not bound to an element.
      Throws:
      jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException - if the object is not known to this context.
      Since:
      2.0 EA1
    • getElementName

      @Nullable QName getElementName(@NotNull Class o) throws jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException
      Allows to retrieve the element name based on Class.
      Throws:
      jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException
      Since:
      2.1.10
    • createBridge

      XMLBridge createBridge(@NotNull TypeInfo ref)
      Creates a mini-marshaller/unmarshaller that can process a TypeInfo.
      Returns:
      null if the specified reference is not given to newWrapperInstace(Class).
      Since:
      2.0 EA1
    • createFragmentBridge

      XMLBridge createFragmentBridge()
    • getElementPropertyAccessor

      <B, V> PropertyAccessor<B,V> getElementPropertyAccessor(Class<B> wrapperBean, String nsUri, String localName) throws jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException
      Gets a PropertyAccessor for the specified element property of the specified wrapper bean class.

      This method is designed to assist the JAX-RPC RI fill in a wrapper bean (in the doc/lit/wrap mode.) In the said mode, a wrapper bean is supposed to only have properties that match elements, and for each element that appear in the content model there's one property.

      Therefore, this method takes a wrapper bean and a tag name that identifies a property on the given wrapper bean, then returns a PropertyAccessor that allows the caller to set/get a value from the property of the bean.

      This method is not designed for a performance. The caller is expected to cache the result.

      Type Parameters:
      B - type of the wrapper bean
      V - type of the property of the bean
      Returns:
      always return non-null valid accessor object.
      Throws:
      jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException - if the specified wrapper bean is not bound by JAXB, or if it doesn't have an element property of the given name.

    • getKnownNamespaceURIs

      @NotNull List<String> getKnownNamespaceURIs()
      Gets the namespace URIs statically known to this JAXBContext.

      When JAXB is used to marshal into sub-trees, it declares these namespace URIs at each top-level element that it marshals. To avoid repeated namespace declarations at sub-elements, the application may declare those namespaces at a higher level.

      Returns:
      always non-null.

      2.0 EA2
    • generateSchema

      void generateSchema(@NotNull jakarta.xml.bind.SchemaOutputResolver outputResolver) throws IOException
      Generates the schema documents from the model.

      The caller can use the additionalElementDecls parameter to add element declarations to the generate schema. For example, if the JAX-RPC passes in the following entry: {foo}bar -> DeclaredType for java.lang.String then JAXB generates the following element declaration (in the schema document for the namespace "foo")" <xs:element name="bar" type="xs:string" /> This can be used for generating schema components necessary for WSDL.

      Parameters:
      outputResolver - this object controls the output to which schemas will be sent.
      Throws:
      IOException - if SchemaOutputResolver throws an IOException.
    • getTypeName

      QName getTypeName(@NotNull TypeInfo tr)
      Returns the name of the XML Type bound to the specified Java type.
      Parameters:
      tr - must not be null. This must be one of the TypeInfos specified in the newWrapperInstace(java.lang.Class) method.
      Returns:
      null if the referenced type is an anonymous and therefore doesn't have a name.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the parameter is null or not a part of the TypeInfos specified in the newWrapperInstace(Class) method.
    • getBuildId

      @NotNull String getBuildId()
      Gets the build information of the JAXB runtime.
      Returns:
      may be null, if the runtime is loaded by a class loader that doesn't support the access to the manifest informatino.
