| |
| − | EclipseLink '''2.3''' introduces the concept of a '''MetadataSource''', which is responsible for serving up EclipseLink metadata. This allows you to store mapping information outside of your application and have it retrieved when the application's '''JAXBContext''' is being created or refreshed.

| |
| − | == Implementing a MetadataSource ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To implement your own '''MetadataSource''', you can:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Create a new class that implements the '''org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.metadata.MetadataSource''' interface.
| |
| − | * Create a new class that extends the '''org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.metadata.MetadataSourceAdapter''' class. Using this method is preferred, as it will insulate you from future additions to the interface.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In either case, you will be responsible for implementing the following method:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <div style="width:750px">
| |
| − | <source lang="java">
| |
| − | /**
| |
| − | * Retrieve XmlBindings according to the JAXBContext bootstrapping information.
| |
| − | *
| |
| − | * @param properties - The properties passed in to create the JAXBContext
| |
| − | * @param classLoader - The ClassLoader passed in to create the JAXBContext
| |
| − | * @return the XmlBindings object representing the metadata

| |
| − | == XmlBindings ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Internally, EclipseLink metadata is stored in an XmlBindings object tree, which itself is mapped with JAXB. This means that you can actually use a JAXBUnmarshaller to read external metadata and create an XmlBindings from it:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <div style="width:850px">
| |
| − | <source lang="java">
| |
| − | ...
| |
| − |
| |
| − | JAXBContext xmlBindingsContext = JAXBContext.newInstance("org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.xmlmodel");
| |
| − | FileReader bindingsFile = new FileReader("eclipselink-oxm.xml");
| |
| − | XmlBindings bindings = (XmlBindings) xmlBindingsContext.createUnmarshaller().unmarshal(bindingsFile);
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ...
| |
| − | </source>
| |
| − | </div>
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Example ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The following example retrieves metadata XML from a URL, and then creates an '''XmlBindings''' object by unmarshalling from the URL using the "" package.

| − | JAXBContext xmlBindingsContext = JAXBContext.newInstance("org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.xmlmodel");
| |
| − | URL bindingsUrl = new URL("http://www.zizucoffee.com/eclipselink-oxm3.xml");
| |
| − | XmlBindings bindings = (XmlBindings) xmlBindingsContext.createUnmarshaller().unmarshal(bindingsUrl);
| |
| − | return bindings;
| |
| − | } catch (Exception e) {
| |
| − | throw new RuntimeException(e);

| |
| − | == Specifying the MetadataSource ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To use a '''MetadataSource''' in creating a '''JAXBContext''', add it to the '''properties''' map with the key '''JAXBContextFactory.ECLIPSELINK_OXM_XML_KEY''':
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <div style="width:750px">
| |
| − | <source lang="java">
| |
| − | MetadataSource metadataSource = new MyMetadataSourceImpl();
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>(1);
| |
| − | properties.put(JAXBContextFactory.ECLIPSELINK_OXM_XML_KEY, metadataSource);
| |
| − |
| |
| − | JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[] { Customer.class }, properties);
