JAXB API 2.2.12 Source Code

Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) is a Java API that allows Java developers to map Java classes to XML representations.

jaxb-api-2.2.12.jar is the JAR file for the JAXB API 2.2 specification. You can download and use it directly without any building process as shown in the last tutorial.

If you want to rebuild the JAR file, you can download the source code at JAXB API Maven Website.

/**
 * Maps a class or an enum type to an XML element.
 *
 * <p> <b>Usage</b> </p>
 * <p>
 * The &#64;XmlRootElement annotation can be used with the following program
 * elements: 
 * <ul> 
 *   <li> a top level class </li>
 *   <li> an enum type </li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
 * additional common information.</p>
 * 
 * <p>
 * When a top level class or an enum type is annotated with the 
 * &#64;XmlRootElement annotation, then its value is represented 
 * as XML element in an XML document.
 *
 * <p> This annotation can be used with the following annotations:
 * {@link XmlType}, {@link XmlEnum}, {@link XmlAccessorType}, 
 * {@link XmlAccessorOrder}.
 * </p>

 * <p>
 * <b>Example 1: </b> Associate an element with XML Schema type
 * <pre>
 *     // Example: Code fragment
 *     &#64;XmlRootElement
 *     class Point {
 *        int x;
 *        int y;
 *        Point(int _x,int _y) {x=_x;y=_y;}
 *     }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <pre>
 *     //Example: Code fragment corresponding to XML output
 *     marshal( new Point(3,5), System.out);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <pre>
 *     &lt;!-- Example: XML output --&gt;
 *     &lt;point&gt;
 *       &lt;x&gt; 3 &lt;/x&gt;
 *       &lt;y&gt; 5 &lt;/y&gt;
 *     &lt;/point&gt;
 * </pre>
 *
 * The annotation causes an global element declaration to be produced
 * in the schema. The global element declaration is associated with
 * the XML schema type to which the class is mapped.
 *
 * <pre>
 *     &lt;!-- Example: XML schema definition --&gt;
 *     &lt;xs:element name="point" type="point"/&gt;
 *     &lt;xs:complexType name="point"&gt;
 *       &lt;xs:sequence&gt;
 *         &lt;xs:element name="x" type="xs:int"/&gt;
 *         &lt;xs:element name="y" type="xs:int"/&gt;
 *       &lt;/xs:sequence&gt;
 *     &lt;/xs:complexType&gt;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 *
 * <b>Example 2: Orthogonality to type inheritance </b>
 * 
 * <p>
 * An element declaration annotated on a type is not inherited by its
 * derived types. The following example shows this.
 * <pre>
 *     // Example: Code fragment
 *     &#64;XmlRootElement
 *     class Point3D extends Point {
 *         int z;
 *         Point3D(int _x,int _y,int _z) {super(_x,_y);z=_z;}
 *     }
 *
 *     //Example: Code fragment corresponding to XML output * 
 *     marshal( new Point3D(3,5,0), System.out );
 *
 *     &lt;!-- Example: XML output --&gt;
 *     &lt;!-- The element name is point3D not point --&gt;
 *     &lt;point3D&gt;
 *       &lt;x&gt;3&lt;/x&gt;
 *       &lt;y&gt;5&lt;/y&gt;
 *       &lt;z&gt;0&lt;/z&gt;
 *     &lt;/point3D&gt;
 *
 *     &lt;!-- Example: XML schema definition --&gt;
 *     &lt;xs:element name="point3D" type="point3D"/&gt;
 *     &lt;xs:complexType name="point3D"&gt;
 *       &lt;xs:complexContent&gt;
 *         &lt;xs:extension base="point"&gt;
 *           &lt;xs:sequence&gt;
 *             &lt;xs:element name="z" type="xs:int"/&gt;
 *           &lt;/xs:sequence&gt;
 *         &lt;/xs:extension&gt;
 *       &lt;/xs:complexContent&gt;
 *     &lt;/xs:complexType&gt;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <b>Example 3: </b> Associate a global element with XML Schema type
 * to which the class is mapped.
 * <pre>
 *     //Example: Code fragment
 *     &#64;XmlRootElement(name="PriceElement")
 *     public class USPrice {
 *         &#64;XmlElement
 *         public java.math.BigDecimal price;
 *     }
 *
 *     &lt;!-- Example: XML schema definition --&gt;
 *     &lt;xs:element name="PriceElement" type="USPrice"/&gt;
 *     &lt;xs:complexType name="USPrice"&gt;
 *       &lt;xs:sequence&gt;
 *         &lt;xs:element name="price" type="xs:decimal"/&gt;
 *       &lt;/sequence&gt;
 *     &lt;/xs:complexType&gt;
 * </pre>
