ID Resolver

In the current JAXB RI, developed by Sun, there is a series of "proprietary" JAXB extensions which provide advanced functionality outside of the JAXB specification (these extension classes and properties reside in the com.sun.xml.bind package).

The abstract class IDResolver provided in the Sun JAXB implementation allows users to override the ID/IDREF processing of the JAXB runtime.


Behaviour

If an IDResolver has been set on the Unmarshaller (via properties), then the following things must happen during unmarshal:

  • The IDResolver's startDocument() method must be called when unmarshalling starts.
  • When an ID value is encountered during unmarshal, the IDResolver's bind method must be called, to bind the object to the ID.
  • When an IDREF value is encountered during unmarshal, the IDResolver's resolve method must be used to obtain the object for the IDREF.
  • The IDResolver's endDocument() method must be called when unmarshalling completes.


Configuration

The user must extend the org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.IDResolver class and implement the following abstract methods (startDocument and endDocument are optional): 

public abstract Callable<?> resolve(Object id, Class type) throws SAXException;
 
public abstract Callable<?> resolve(Map<String, Object> id, final Class type) throws SAXException;
 
public abstract void bind(Object id, Object obj) throws SAXException;
 
public abstract void bind(Map<String, Object> id, Object obj) throws SAXException;
 
public void startDocument(ValidationEventHandler errorHandler) throws SAXException {}
 
public void endDocument() throws SAXException {}

The user's IDResolver class can then be passed to the Unmarshaller through the setProperty() method: 

...
JAXBContext ctx = ...
Unmarshaller u = ctx.createUnmarshaller();
u.setProperty(UnmarshallerProperties.ID_RESOLVER, new MyIDResolver());
...

Note: EclipseLink also supports Sun's IDResolver property names: 

m.setProperty("com.sun.xml.bind.IDResolver", new MyResolver());
m.setProperty("com.sun.xml.internal.bind.IDResolver", new MyResolver());

Also note that if you are using a Sun IDResolver with EclipseLink, it will be unable to support EclipseLink's multiple XML IDs feature. In this case, you should re-implement your IDResolver as a subclass of org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.IDResolver.
