Specifying Bootstrapping from an XML Schema
As with conventional JAXB, the first step is to create a JAXBContext. This is achieved by use of the DynamicJAXBContextFactory class. A DynamicJAXBContext cannot be instantiated directly; it must be created through the factory API.
A DynamicJAXBContext can be created from:
- an XML Schema file (XSD)
- the EclipseLink OXM metadata file
- an EclipseLink Project specified in the EclipseLink sessions.xml file
Bootstrapping from XML Schema (XSD)
With EclipseLink MOXy, you can provide an existing XML schema from which to create a DynamicJAXBContext. EclipseLink will parse the schema and generate DynamicTypes for each complex type.
EclipseLink MOXy uses Sun's XJC (XML-to-Java Compiler) APIs to parse the schema into an in-memory representation and generate DynamicTypes and Mappings.
To bootstrapp from an XML Schema (XSD), include jaxb-xjc.jar (from the JAXB reference implementation) on your classpath.
