<javaType> Binding Declarations

The

declaration provides a way to customize the translation of

XML datatypes to and from Java datatypes. XML provides more datatypes than
Java, and so the

declaration lets you specify custom datatype bind-

ings when the default JAXB binding cannot sufficiently represent your schema.

The target Java datatype can be a Java built-in datatype or an application-specific
Java datatype. If an application-specific datatype is used as the target, your
implementation must also provide parse and print methods for unmarshalling
and marshalling data. To this end, the JAXB specification supports a

parseMethod

and

printMethod

· The

parseMethod

is called during unmarshalling to convert a string from

the input document into a value of the target Java datatype.

· The

printMethod

is called during marshalling to convert a value of the tar-

get type into a lexical representation.
