Package org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb

Class JAXBContextFactory

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBContextFactory

public class JAXBContextFactory
extends Object

Purpose:An EclipseLink specific JAXBContextFactory. This class can be specified in a jaxb.properties file to make use of EclipseLink's JAXB 2.1 implementation.

Responsibilities:

• Create a JAXBContext from an array of Classes and a Properties object
• Create a JAXBContext from a context path and a classloader

This class is the entry point into in EclipseLink's JAXB 2.1 Runtime. It provides the required factory methods and is invoked by jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBContext.newInstance() to create new instances of JAXBContext. When creating a JAXBContext from a contextPath, the list of classes is derived either from an ObjectFactory class (schema-to-java) or a jaxb.index file (java-to-schema).

Method Details

createContext

public static jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBContext createContext(Class[] classesToBeBound,
 Map properties)
                                                  throws jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

Create a JAXBContext on the array of Class objects. The JAXBContext will also be aware of classes reachable from the classes in the array.

Throws:

jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

createContext

public static jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBContext createContext(Class[] classesToBeBound,
 Map properties,
 ClassLoader classLoader)
                                                  throws jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

Create a JAXBContext on the array of Class objects. The JAXBContext will also be aware of classes reachable from the classes in the array.

Throws:

jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

createContext

public static jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBContext createContext(String contextPath,
 ClassLoader classLoader)
                                                  throws jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

Create a JAXBContext on context path. The JAXBContext will also be aware of classes reachable from the classes on the context path.

Throws:

jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

createContext

public static jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBContext createContext(String contextPath,
 ClassLoader classLoader,
 Map properties)
                                                  throws jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

Create a JAXBContext on context path. The JAXBContext will also be aware of classes reachable from the classes on the context path.

Throws:

jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

createContext

public static jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBContext createContext(Type[] typesToBeBound,
 Map properties,
 ClassLoader classLoader)
                                                  throws jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

Create a JAXBContext on the array of Type objects. The JAXBContext will also be aware of classes reachable from the types in the array. The preferred means of creating a Type aware JAXBContext is to create the JAXBContext with an array of TypeMappingInfo objects.

Throws:

jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

createContext

public static jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBContext createContext(TypeMappingInfo[] typesToBeBound,
 Map properties,
 ClassLoader classLoader)
                                                  throws jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

Create a JAXBContext on the array of TypeMappingInfo objects. The JAXBContext will also be aware of classes reachable from the types in the array. This is the preferred means of creating a Type aware JAXBContext.

Throws:

jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

getXmlBindingsFromProperties

public static Map<String,XmlBindings> getXmlBindingsFromProperties(Map properties,
 ClassLoader classLoader)

     - Object is one of those listed in 3) below
 2)  List<Object>
     - Object is one of those listed in 3) below
     - Bindings file must contain package-name attribute on
       xml-bindings element
 3)  One of:
     - java.io.File
     - java.io.InputStream
     - java.io.Reader
     - java.lang.String
     - java.net.URL
