Class XMLUnmarshallerHandler

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.persistence.platform.xml.SAXDocumentBuilder

org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.XMLUnmarshallerHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

public class XMLUnmarshallerHandler
extends SAXDocumentBuilder
implements org.eclipse.persistence.internal.oxm.UnmarshallerHandler

Class used to unmarshal SAX events to objects.

Create an XMLUnmarshallerHandler from an XMLUnmarshaller.
Code Sample
XMLContext context = new XMLContext("mySessionName");
XMLUnmarshaller unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();
XMLUnmarshallerHandler unmarshallerHandler = unmarshaller.getUnmarshallerHandler();


Use the UnmarshallerHandler with an XMLReader
Code Sample
SAXParserFactory saxParserFactory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
saxParserFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
SAXParser saxParser = saxParserFactory.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xmlReader = saxParser.getXMLReader();
xmlReader.setContentHandler(xmlUnmarshallerHandler);
FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream("MyFile.xml");
InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(inputStream);
xmlReader.parse(inputSource);
Object result = xmlUnmarshallerHandler.getResult();


XML that can be unmarshalled is XML which has a root tag that corresponds to a default root element on an XMLDescriptor in the TopLink project associated with the XMLContext.
