          org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.dynamic.DynamicJAXBContext

public class DynamicJAXBContext
extends JAXBContext

A specialized JAXBContext for marshalling and unmarshalling DynamicEntities.

DynamicJAXBContext also provides methods to:

• get the DynamicType associated with a given Java name
• get the DynamicType associated with a given XML name
• create a new DynamicEntity given the Java name of its DynamicType
• create a new DynamicEntity given the XML name of its DynamicType

New instances of DynamicJAXBContext must be created with DynamicJAXBContextFactory.

Method Detail

getDynamicClassLoader

public DynamicClassLoader getDynamicClassLoader()

getDynamicType

public DynamicType getDynamicType(java.lang.String javaName)

Obtain a reference to the DynamicType object for a given Java name. If one has not been generated, this method will return null.

Parameters:

javaName - A Java class name, used to look up its DynamicType.

Returns:

The DynamicType for this Java class name.

newDynamicEntity

public DynamicEntity newDynamicEntity(java.lang.String javaName)
                               throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Create a new instance of DynamicEntity for a given Java name. If a DynamicType for this Java class name has not been generated, this method will return null.

Parameters:

javaName - The Java class name to create a new DynamicEntity for.

Returns:

A new DynamicEntity for this Java class name.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

newDynamicEntity

public DynamicEntity newDynamicEntity(DynamicType dynamicType)

Create a new instance of DynamicEntity for a given DynamicType.

Parameters:

dynamicType - The DynamicType to create a new DynamicEntity for.

Returns:

A new DynamicEntity for this DynamicType.

getEnumConstant

public java.lang.Object getEnumConstant(java.lang.String enumName,
                                        java.lang.String constantName)
                                 throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException,
                                        JAXBException

Returns the constant named constantName from the enum class specified by enumName.

Parameters:

enumName - Java class name of an enum.

constantName - Name of the constant to get from the specified enum.

Returns:

An Object, the constant from the specified enum.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

JAXBException
