Key API
Specifying the EclipseLink Runtime
In order to use EclipseLink MOXy as your JAXB implementation, you must identify the EclipseLink JAXBContextFactory in your jaxb.properties file.
- Create a text file named jaxb.properties, specifying JAXBContextFactory as the factory used to build new JAXBContexts.
javax.xml.bind.context.factory=org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBContextFactory
- Copy the file to the same package (directory) in which your model classes reside.
- Use the standard JAXBContext.newInstance(Class... classesToBeBound) API to create a JAXBContext.
JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(Customer.class);
Because you do not need to change any application code, you can easily switch between different JAXB implementations.
The JAXBContextFactory can
- Create a JAXBContext from an array of Classes and a Properties object
- Create a JAXBContext from a context path and a ClassLoader
