Supporting ObjectFactory in Dynamic JAXB

Background

In standard JAXB, when classes are generated from a schema, an ObjectFactory class is also created, with methods to create new instances of all types in the schema, etc. From the JAXB 2.2 spec:

A public class ObjectFactory contains:

• An instance factory method signature for each Java content within the package. Given Java value class named Foo, here is the derived factory method: public Foo createFoo(); • An element instance factory method signature for each bound element declaration. public JAXBElement<T> createFoo(T elementValue); • Dynamic instance factory allocator method signature: public Object newInstance(Class javaContentInterface); • Property setter/getter Provide the ability to associate implementation specific property/value pairs with the instance creation process. Enum Type 1/8/09 JAXB 2.2 – Final Release 51 java.lang.Object getProperty(String name);

void setProperty(String name, Object value);
