I’ve never been able to get regular xsd:documentation to be placed in the java source except if and only if it was a Complex Type. Documentation for elements, simple types, etc are ignored. So, I end up using jxb:javadoc. To do so, include the definition of xmlns:jxb=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb” in your <xsd:schema> element. Add a child to … Read more
Oh, oh, someone is interested in XJC internals. I might be of some help since I’ve probably developed more JAXB plugins than anyone else (see JAXB2 Basics for instance) Ok, let’s start. In XJC the schema compiler does approximately following Parses the schema Creates the model of the schema (CClass, CPropertyInfo etc.) Creates the outline … Read more
Please try /xs:schema/xs:element[@name=”MyItem”]/xs:complexType.
Serializable Use xjc:serializable in a custom bindings file to add the java.io.Serializable interface to your classes along with a serialVersionUID: <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?> <bindings xmlns=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb” xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance” xmlns:xjc=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc” xsi:schemaLocation=” http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/bindingschema_2_0.xsd” version=”2.1″> <globalBindings> <serializable uid=”1″ /> </globalBindings> </bindings> toString() Use a superclass (see xjc:superClass) from which all your bound classes will inherit. This class won’t be … Read more
JAXB provides two ways to accomplish this: 1. Inline Schema Anntotations You can use JAXB schema annotations to control the class names. <xs:schema xmlns:xs=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema” xmlns:jaxb=”http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb” jaxb:version=”2.1″> <xs:complexType name=”itemType”> <xs:annotation> <xs:appinfo> <jaxb:class name=”Item”/> </xs:appinfo> </xs:annotation> <xs:attribute name=”id” type=”xs:string” use=”required”/> </xs:complexType> </xs:schema> 2. External Binding File This customization can also be done via and external binding file: … Read more
Unfortunately, it looks like the interface-injection plugin mentioned in some of the other answers is no longer well-supported. In fact, I’m having trouble finding the JAR for download. Thankfully, the JAXB2 Basics Plugins provides a similar mechanism for adding an interface to the generated JAXB stubs (see the Inheritance plugin). The Inheritance plugin documentation has … Read more
To tie together what others have already stated or hinted at, the rules by which JAXB XJC decides whether or not to put the @XmlRootElement annotation on a generated class are non trivial (see this article). @XmlRootElement exists because the JAXB runtime requires certain information in order to marshal/unmarshal a given object, specifically the XML … Read more
