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.
Instantiating a DynamicJAXBContext
The following methods on JAXBContextFactory can be used to create JAXBContexts:
public static JAXBContext newInstance(Class... classesToBeBound) throws JAXBException public static JAXBContext newInstance(Class[] classesToBeBound, Map<String,?> properties) throws JAXBException public static JAXBContext newInstance(String contextPath) throws JAXBException public static JAXBContext newInstance(String contextPath, ClassLoader classLoader) throws JAXBException public static JAXBContext newInstance(String contextPath, ClassLoader classLoader, Map<String,?> properties) throws JAXBException
- classesToBeBound - List of Java classes to be recognized by the new JAXBContext.
- contextPath - List of Java package names that contain mapped classes.
- classLoader - The class loader used to locate the mapped classes.
- properties - A map of additional properties.
