Class Declarations

The class-level binding declarations in bindings.xjb differ from the analogous declarations in
po.xsd

for the Datatype Converter example in two ways:

As with all other binding declarations in bindings.xjb, you do not need to embed your
customizations in schema <xsd:appinfo> elements.

You must specify the schema node to which the customization will be applied. The general
syntax for this type of declaration is:

<jxb:bindings node=

"//node-type[@name='node-name']">

For example, the following code shows binding declarations for the complexType named
USAddress

<jxb:bindings node=

"//xs:complexType[@name='USAddress']">

<jxb:class>

<jxb:javadoc>

<![CDATA[First line of documentation for a <b>USAddress</b>.]]>

</jxb:javadoc>

</jxb:class>

<jxb:bindings node=

".//xs:element[@name='name']">

<jxb:property name=

"toName"/>

</jxb:bindings>

<jxb:bindings node=

".//xs:element[@name='zip']">

<jxb:property name=

"zipCode"/>

</jxb:bindings>

<!-- node=

"//xs:complexType[@name='USAddress']" -->

Note in this example that USAddress is the parent of the child elements name and zip, and
therefore a </jxb:bindings> tag encloses the bindings declarations for the child elements as
well as the class-level javadoc declaration.
