java.lang.Objectjavax.xml.bind.Binder<XmlNode>
public abstract class Binder<XmlNode>
Enable synchronization between XML infoset nodes and JAXB objects representing same XML document.
An instance of this class maintains the association between XML nodes of
an infoset preserving view and a JAXB representation of an XML document.
Navigation between the two views is provided by the methods
getXMLNode(Object)
and getJAXBNode(Object)
.
Modifications can be made to either the infoset preserving view or the
JAXB representation of the document while the other view remains
unmodified. The binder is able to synchronize the changes made in the
modified view back into the other view using the appropriate
Binder update methods, updateXML(Object, Object)
or
updateJAXB(Object)
.
A typical usage scenario is the following:
unmarshal(Object)
XML infoset view to JAXB view.
(Note to conserve resources, it is possible to only unmarshal a
subtree of the XML infoset view to the JAXB view.)updateXML(Object)
synchronizes modifications to JAXB view
back into the XML infoset view. Update operation preserves as
much of original XML infoset as possible (i.e. comments, PI, ...)
A Binder instance is created using the factory method
JAXBContext.createBinder()
or JAXBContext.createBinder(Class)
.
The template parameter, XmlNode
, is the
root interface/class for the XML infoset preserving representation.
A Binder implementation is required to minimally support
an XmlNode
value of org.w3c.dom.Node.class
.
A Binder implementation can support alternative XML infoset
preserving representations.

public abstract java.lang.Object unmarshal(XmlNode xmlNode) throws JAXBException
This method is similar to Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Node)
with the addition of maintaining the association between XML nodes
and the produced JAXB objects, enabling future update operations,
updateXML(Object, Object)
or updateJAXB(Object)
.
When getSchema()
is non-null, xmlNode
and its descendants is validated during this operation.
This method throws UnmarshalException
when the Binder's
JAXBContext
does not have a mapping for the XML element name
or the type, specifiable via @xsi:type, of xmlNode
to a JAXB mapped class. The method unmarshal(Object, Class)
enables an application to specify the JAXB mapped class that
the xmlNode should be mapped to.
xmlNode
- the document/element to unmarshal XML data from.
JAXBException
- If any unexpected errors occur while unmarshalling
UnmarshalException
- If the ValidationEventHandler
returns false from its handleEvent method or the
Binder is unable to perform the XML to Java
binding.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- If the node parameter is nullpublic abstract <T> JAXBElement<T> unmarshal(XmlNode xmlNode, java.lang.Class<T> declaredType) throws JAXBException
Implements Unmarshal by Declared Type
This method is similar to Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Node, Class)
with the addition of maintaining the association between XML nodes
and the produced JAXB objects, enabling future update operations,
updateXML(Object, Object)
or updateJAXB(Object)
.
When getSchema()
is non-null, xmlNode
and its descendants is validated during this operation.
xmlNode
- the document/element to unmarshal XML data from.declaredType
- appropriate JAXB mapped class to hold node's XML data.
JAXBException
- If any unexpected errors occur while unmarshalling
UnmarshalException
- If the ValidationEventHandler
returns false from its handleEvent method or the
Binder is unable to perform the XML to Java
binding.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- If any of the input parameters are nullpublic abstract void marshal(java.lang.Object jaxbObject, XmlNode xmlNode) throws JAXBException
This method is similar to Marshaller.marshal(Object, Node)
with the addition of maintaining the association between JAXB objects
and the produced XML nodes,
enabling future update operations such as
updateXML(Object, Object)
or updateJAXB(Object)
.
When getSchema()
is non-null, the marshalled
xml content is validated during this operation.
jaxbObject
- The content tree to be marshalled.xmlNode
- The parameter must be a Node that accepts children.
JAXBException
- If any unexpected problem occurs during the marshalling.
MarshalException
- If the ValidationEventHandler
returns false from its handleEvent method or the
Binder is unable to marshal jaxbObject (or any
object reachable from jaxbObject).
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- If any of the method parameters are nullpublic abstract XmlNode getXMLNode(java.lang.Object jaxbObject)
Once a JAXB object tree is associated with an XML fragment, this method enables navigation between the two trees.
An association between an XML element and a JAXB object is established by the bind methods and the update methods. Note that this association is partial; not all XML elements have associated JAXB objects, and not all JAXB objects have associated XML elements.
jaxbObject
- An instance that is reachable from a prior
call to a bind or update method that returned
a JAXB object tree.
Binder
, or if it is not associated with an
XML element.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- If the jaxbObject parameter is nullpublic abstract java.lang.Object getJAXBNode(XmlNode xmlNode)
Once a JAXB object tree is associated with an XML fragment, this method enables navigation between the two trees.
An association between an XML element and a JAXB object is established by the unmarshal, marshal and update methods. Note that this association is partial; not all XML elements have associated JAXB objects, and not all JAXB objects have associated XML elements.
Binder
, or if it is not associated with a
JAXB object.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- If the node parameter is nullpublic abstract XmlNode updateXML(java.lang.Object jaxbObject) throws JAXBException
This is a convenience method of:
updateXML( jaxbObject, getXMLNode(jaxbObject));
JAXBException
- If any unexpected problem occurs updating corresponding XML content.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- If the jaxbObject parameter is nullpublic abstract XmlNode updateXML(java.lang.Object jaxbObject, XmlNode xmlNode) throws JAXBException
This operation can be thought of as an "in-place" marshalling. The difference is that instead of creating a whole new XML tree, this operation updates an existing tree while trying to preserve the XML as much as possible.
For example, unknown elements/attributes in XML that were not bound to JAXB will be left untouched (whereas a marshalling operation would create a new tree that doesn't contain any of those.)
As a side-effect, this operation updates the association between XML nodes and JAXB objects.
jaxbObject
- root of potentially modified JAXB object treexmlNode
- root of update target XML parse tree
JAXBException
- If any unexpected problem occurs updating corresponding XML content.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- If any of the input parameters are nullpublic abstract java.lang.Object updateJAXB(XmlNode xmlNode) throws JAXBException
This operation can be thought of as an "in-place" unmarshalling. The difference is that instead of creating a whole new JAXB tree, this operation updates an existing tree, reusing as much JAXB objects as possible.
As a side-effect, this operation updates the association between XML nodes and JAXB objects.
marshal(Object,Object)
or
updateJAXB(Object)
method invocation,
but it maybe
a different object, for example when the name of the XML
element has changed.
JAXBException
- If any unexpected problem occurs updating corresponding JAXB mapped content.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- If node parameter is nullpublic abstract void setSchema(javax.xml.validation.Schema schema)
schema
- set to null to disable validation.Unmarshaller.setSchema(Schema)
public abstract javax.xml.validation.Schema getSchema()
Schema
object (including null) set by the
setSchema(Schema)
method.
public abstract void setEventHandler(ValidationEventHandler handler) throws JAXBException
The ValidationEventHandler will be called by the JAXB Provider if any validation errors are encountered during calls to any of the Binder unmarshal, marshal and update methods.
Calling this method with a null parameter will cause the Binder to revert back to the default default event handler.
