  http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd is a DTD. Specify a XML Schema. Please post the schema.

  I have a schema that generates around 50 classes after i use the xjc batch file.The schema includes mandatory and optional elements.
  i have a queries
  1)can i automate the creation of xml document.Since i hav a schema and i have a input driven interface ie i configure the values of the elements dynamically can i bypass the usage of the java objects or can i use them more efficeintly depending on the input

• Root element not generated
  2006-12-14 08:26:48  jeroenBos [Reply | View]
  
  
  Hi all,
  
  i first was using jaxb 2.0 for marshalling to xml. This worked fine a produced a nice xml string with a root element. the problem is that i can not use jre 1.5 but have to use 1.4x instead so i also need a older jaxb impl.
  
  well no worries. now using an older impl. and still getting a XML string only without a root element.
  
  i can not do this:
  JAXBElement<nl.waternet.schemas.wml_soap_debiteur_v0001.EnvelopeType> oElement=oDebFactory.createEnvelope((nl.waternet.schemas.wml_soap_debiteur_v0001.EnvelopeType)oDebEnvelop);
  because oDebFactory.createEnvelope does not allow any input params.
  
  Please give some help here.

  Actually JWSDP 2.0 requires JDK 5.0.
  
  Root element gets generated with JDK 1.4.X also.

  JWSDP 2.0 has the JAXB 2.0 implementation.
• Root element not generated
  2006-12-14 09:05:44  jeroenBos [Reply | View]
  
  
  But when using jaxb 2.0 and using the xjc tool for generating objects from xsd's it tells me to use jdk 1.5.
  
  the code posted works, only no root element is created. Do you have any idea how to solve this?
  Or can i edit the xjc.bat that is uses 1.4x jdk?
  thanks!

• XML to Java to XML..
  2006-10-27 00:27:50  AshBoy [Reply | View]
  
  
  I have an XML document. Now I need to create an XML with same structure populate it with lots of data. The XML document can vary.. and hence the way i thought to solve the above problem is..
  
  Read the XML document. Generate Java classes corresponding to it. Create multiple Java objects. And finally create an XML document using these objects.. Is the process correct and can it be achieved through JAXB.
  
  Please Help.

  Hello Deepak Vohra
  
  I was using JAXB 2.0 and didn't notice your comments section with the update. I was struggling with which jar files to set in classpath. Thank god I found it. Thank you very much for getting back to the article and updating with JAXB 2.0.

  For JAXB 2.0 the JAR files required and the Java classes generated are different.
  
  1. JAXB 2.0 requires JDK 5.0, because JAXB 2.0 makes use of parameterized types.
  
  2. For JAXB 2.0 the JAR files required are :
  
  C:\Sun\jwsdp-2.0\jaxb\lib\jaxb-api.jar, C:\Sun\jwsdp-2.0\jaxb\lib\jaxb-impl.jar, C:\Sun\jwsdp-2.0\jaxb\lib\jaxb-xjc.jar, C:\Sun\jwsdp-2.0\jwsdp-shared\lib\activation.jar,
  C:\Sun\jwsdp-2.0\sjsxp\lib\jsr173_api.jar, C:\Sun\jwsdp-2.0\sjsxp\lib\sjsxp.jar
  
  3. For JAXB 2.0 a value class is generated for each top level complexType, instead of an interface and a implementation class. An ObjectFactory method is generated for each op level element.
  
  4. For marshalling with JAXB 2.0, marshall with JAXBElement<CatalogType> object, instead of CatalogType object. CatalogType is value class corresponding to root element complexType catalogType.
  //Create a CatalogType object
  CatalogType catalog = factory.createCatalogType();
  //Add elements and attributes to CatalogType object.
  //Obtain a JAXBElement object from CatalogType object and marshall with the JAXBElement element.
  JAXBElement<CatalogType> catalogElement=factory.createCatalog(catalog);
marshaller.marshal(catalogElement, new FileOutputStream(xmlDocument));
  
  5. For unmarshalling with JAXB 2.0, unmarshalling returns a JAXBElement object.
  
JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance("generated");
Unmarshaller unMarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
JAXBElement<CatalogType> catalogElement = (JAXBElement<CatalogType>)
unMarshaller.unmarshal(xmlDocument);
  
  //Obtain a CatalogType object from JAXBElement object.
  
  CatalogType catalog=catalogElement.getValue();
  
  
  
  
  
  
• JAXB1.4 | Root element of the schema is not created

  Hi Deepak, I am working on JXB1.4 to create the XML document by binding the XML schema. Everything is fine except the Root element generation. My root element is not at all created. For marshalling, i am giving the root element object. But it didnt worked. what could be the reason/reasons???
  Hope you can help me to get rid of this problem.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  To marshall, we need to follow the following steps:
  1. Create a JAXBContext object and use this object to create a Marshaller object.
  2. Create an ObjectFactory object to create instances of relevant generated Java content classes.
  3. Using the ObjectFactory object, create an object tree with RootType as the root object. Populate these tree objects with relevant data using the appropriate setter methods.
  4. Create a JAXBElement<<i>RootType> object from CatalogType object. JAXBElement<<i>RootType> represents catalog element in XML document.
  
  RootType is the interface corresponding to the root element in schema.

  Hello,
  I tried all steps you have mentioned for JAXB 2.0. But when I run XJC, it's not creating all classes. I try to ran the sample catalog.xsd you have mentioned in the article. It created only the following 4 files.
  ArticleType
  CatalogType
  JournalType
  ObjectFactory
  
  Can you please help to fix this problem.
  
  Thanks

  That's all the classes JAXB 2.0 creates, just the value classes, unlike JAXB 1.0 which creates interfaces and implementation classes, another advantage of JAXB 2.0.

• What limitations ?

  The conclusion speaks about limitations to JAXB, what are they ?
  
  As in previous comments, my opinion is that the title is incorrect as the article is about jaxb.
  
  A word about hyperjaxb (xsd to hibernate classes) would be good.
  
  My 2 cents

  As mentioned in the conclusion the limitation is, JAXB does not support all of the schema constructs.

  Also, an article about the tools compatible between them that allow to generate classes that are DB AND XML persistent would be great.
  With UML as the entry point.

  The title of the article is POJOs to XML and back. The article discusses on how to go from a schema to java, not the other way around (which are two completely different things), the objects are not POJO because they extend JAXB interfaces, and the code shown is one way.

  A more appropriate title is,
  <h4>XML to Java Objects and Back</h4>

  This is a good point. Per this feedback, I've changed the blurb to "XML to POJOs and back"

  The tutorial discusses XML Schema to java objects and java objects to XML document.

• XML Document Format
  2004-12-16 05:31:18  Deepak Vohra [Reply | View]
  
  
  To format the output XML document( with line breaks and indentation) set the Marshaller property jaxb.formatted.output.
  
  

  
  
  marshaller.setProperty("jaxb.formatted.output", java.lang.Boolean.TRUE);

  It's a pitty, that the license doesn't allow to ship/deploy JAXB without to entire WebService Development Pack.
  It would be incredibly convient if it would be allowed to extract only JAXB.
