Phase 10 - XmlRegistry (page under construction)

Provide support for ObjectFactory methods.

Annotations

The following annotations will be targetted in this phase:

Example: XmlRegistry and XmlElementDecl Annotations - Factory method

Java Metadata

The following example will demonstrate how the XmlRegistry and XmlElementDecl annotations can be applied:

org.example.ObjectFactory.java

package org.example;
 
@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRegistry
class ObjectFactory {
    @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElementDecl(name="foo")
    javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement<String> createFoo(String s) { return "fooAsString"; }
}

XML Metadata

xml-registry

If this is present in XML, the corresponding annotation will be ignored, and the true/false value set in XML used instead.

xml-element-decl

If this is present in XML, the corresponding annotation will be completely replaced.

org/example/eclipselink-oxm.xml

This XML file represents metadata overrides for the "org.example" package.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<xml-bindings xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/xsds/persistence/oxm">
    <xml-registries>
        <xml-registry name="org.example.ObjectFactory">
            <xml-element-decl name="foo" />
        </xml-registry>
    </xml-registries>
</xml-bindings>

Example: XmlRegistry and XmlElementDecl Annotations - Element declaration with non local scope

Java Metadata

The following example will demonstrate how the XmlRegistry and XmlElementDecl annotations can be applied:

org.example.ObjectFactory.java

package org.example;
 
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElementDecl;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRegistry;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement;
 
@XmlRegistry
class ObjectFactory {
    @XmlElementDecl(scope=FooBar.class,name="foo")
    JAXBElement createFooBarFoo(String s);
 
    @XmlElementDecl(scope=FooBar.class,name="bar")
    JAXBElement createFooBarBar(String s);
 
    @XmlElementDecl(name="foo")
    JAXBElement createFoo(Integer i);
}

org.example.FooBar.java

package org.example;
 
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElementRef;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElementRefs;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement;
 
class FooBar {
    @XmlElementRefs({
        @XmlElementRef(name="foo",type=JAXBElement.class),
        @XmlElementRef(name="bar",type=JAXBElement.class)
    })
    List<JAXBElement<String>> fooOrBar;
}

XML Metadata

xml-registry

If this is present in XML, the corresponding annotation will be ignored, and the true/false value set in XML used instead.

xml-element-decl

If this is present in XML, the corresponding annotation will be completely replaced.

org/example/eclipselink-oxm.xml

This XML file represents metadata overrides for the "org.example" package.
