Customizing JAXB Bindings

Schema-to-Java

Custom JAXB binding declarations also 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 customizations file that is passed to

the JAXB binding compiler

Code examples showing how to customize JAXB bindings are provided in Chap-
ter 3.
