Create Marshal Example
Create Marshal Example
If you are using JDK 6, perform the following steps before you run any of the Java-to-Schema
examples:
1. Change to one of the Java-to-Schema example directories (for example,
tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/jaxb/j2s-create-marshal.
2. Run the following Ant command:
ant update-endorsed
This command creates an endorsed directory in the JDK and copies the
webservices-api.jar
file from the Application Server's lib/endorsed/ directory into it.
Create Marshal Example
The Create Marshal example illustrates Java-to-schema databinding. It demonstrates
marshalling and unmarshalling of JAXB annotated classes and also shows how to enable JAXP
1.3 validation at unmarshal time using a schema file that was generated from the JAXB mapped
classes.
The schema file, bc.xsd, was generated with the following commands:
schemagen src/cardfile/*.java
cp schema1.xsd bc.xsd
Note that schema1.xsd, was copied to bc.xsd; schemagen does not allow you to specify a
schema name of your choice.
