Class JAXBHelper

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBHelper

public class JAXBHelper
extends Object

This class provides a mechanism to obtain the EclipseLink implementation of various JAXB runtime classes based on a given JAXB class/interface. This is useful for accessing extended EclipseLink features. Using this helper class will alleviate the need for consumers of EclipseLink JAXB to perform casts where their code makes use of the standard JAXB API. In addition, a given JAXB class/interface can be unwrapped based on a user-specified class. This will allow access - in certain cases - to a given JAXB implementation class' underlying class(es). For example, a Marshaller could be unwrapped resulting in an EclipseLink JAXBMarshaller, or its underlying XMLMarshaller.

public static JAXBUnmarshaller getUnmarshaller(Unmarshaller jaxbUnmarshaller)
                                        throws IllegalArgumentException

Return the EclipseLink implementation of Unmarshaller. The given Unmarshaller is assumed to be an instance of JAXBUnmarshaller. If not, an exception will be thrown.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

getMarshaller

public static JAXBMarshaller getMarshaller(Marshaller jaxbMarshaller)
                                    throws IllegalArgumentException

Return the EclipseLink implementation of Marshaller. The given Marshaller is assumed to be an instance of JAXBMarshaller. If not, an exception will be thrown.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

getBinder

public static JAXBBinder getBinder(Binder jaxbBinder)
                            throws IllegalArgumentException

Return the EclipseLink implementation of Binder. The given Binder is assumed to be an instance of JAXBBinder. If not, an exception will be thrown.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

unwrap

public static <T> T unwrap(JAXBContext jaxbContext,
 Class<T> clazz)
                    throws IllegalArgumentException

Unwraps a given JAXBContext resulting in an EclipseLink JAXBContext, or the EclipseLink JAXBContext's underlying XMLContext. Assumes that the given JAXBContext is an instance of EclipseLink JAXBContext, and clazz is one of org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBContext or org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.XMLContext.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException
