JAX-B example

This is a Java application using JAX-B (Java API for XML data binding)

Depending on the command line arguments, the example executes differently:

• marshal - produces an XML file from Java objects
• unmarshal - produces Java objects from an XML file
• unmarshal schema - same as unmarshal but also validates the XML using the provided XML Schema

Instructions for using Maven

To generate code from XML Schema use one of the following commands:

mvn jaxb2:xjc
mvn generate-sources

Note: In Eclipse, it may be necessary to manually add "target/generated-sources/jaxb" to the build path.

To compile and copy the properties files to the output directory:

mvn compile

To run the default example using exec plugin:

mvn exec:java

To list available profiles (one for each example):

mvn help:all-profiles

To run a specific example, select the profile with -P:

mvn exec:java -P unmarshal-ok

To configure the Maven project in Eclipse

'File', 'Import...', 'Maven'-'Existing Maven Projects'

'Select root directory' and 'Browse' to the project base folder.

Check that the desired POM is selected and 'Finish'.
