Customizing Generated Classes and Java Program Elements

The following sections explain how to customize generated JAXB classes and Java program
elements.

Schema-to-Java

Custom JAXB binding declarations allow you to customize your generated JAXB classes beyond
the XML-specific constraints in an XML schema to include Java-specific refinements, such as
class and package name mappings.

JAXB provides two ways to customize an XML schema:

As inline annotations in a source XML schema

As declarations in an external binding customization file that is passed to the JAXB binding
compiler

Code examples that show how to customize JAXB bindings are provided later in this chapter.
