It provides an abstraction for managing the XML/Java binding 39 * information necessary to implement the JAXB binding framework operations: 40 * unmarshal, marshal and validate. 41 * 42 * <p>A client application normally obtains new instances of this class using 43 * one of these two styles for newInstance methods, although there are other 44 * specialized forms of the method available: 45 * 46 * <ul> 47 * <li>{@link #newInstance(String, ClassLoader) JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo:com.acme.bar" )} <br> 48 * The JAXBContext instance is initialized from a list of colon 49 * separated Java package names. Each java package contains 50 * JAXB mapped classes, schema-derived classes and/or user annotated 51 * classes. Additionally, the java package may contain JAXB package annotations 52 * that must be processed. (see JLS, Section 7.4.1 "Named Packages"). 53 * </li> 54 * <li>{@link #newInstance(Class...) JAXBContext.newInstance( com.acme.foo.Foo.class )} <br> 55 * The JAXBContext instance is initialized with class(es) 56 * passed as parameter(s) and classes that are statically reachable from 57 * these class(es). See {@link #newInstance(Class...)} for details. 58 * </li> 59 * </ul> 60 * 61 * <p><i> 62 * The following JAXB 1.0 requirement is only required for schema to 63 * java interface/implementation binding. It does not apply to JAXB annotated 64 * classes. JAXB Providers must generate a {@code jaxb.properties} file in 65 * each package containing schema derived classes. The property file must 66 * contain a property named {@code javax.xml.bind.context.factory} whose 67 * value is the name of the class that implements the {@code createContext} 68 * APIs.</i> 69 * 70 * <p><i> 71 * The class supplied by the provider does not have to be assignable to 72 * {@code javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext}, it simply has to provide a class that 73 * implements the {@code createContext} APIs.</i> 74 * 75 * <p><i> 76 * In addition, the provider must call the 77 * {@link DatatypeConverter#setDatatypeConverter(DatatypeConverterInterface) 78 * DatatypeConverter.setDatatypeConverter} api prior to any client 79 * invocations of the marshal and unmarshal methods. This is necessary to 80 * configure the datatype converter that will be used during these operations.</i> 81 * 82 * <a name="Unmarshalling"></a> 83 * <h3>Unmarshalling</h3> 84 * <p> 85 * The {@link Unmarshaller} class provides the client application the ability 86 * to convert XML data into a tree of Java content objects. 87 * The unmarshal method allows for 88 * any global XML element declared in the schema to be unmarshalled as 89 * the root of an instance document. 90 * Additionally, the unmarshal method allows for an unrecognized root element that 91 * has an xsi:type attribute's value that references a type definition declared in 92 * the schema to be unmarshalled as the root of an instance document. 93 * The {@code JAXBContext} object 94 * allows the merging of global elements and type definitions across a set of schemas (listed 95 * in the {@code contextPath}). Since each schema in the schema set can belong 96 * to distinct namespaces, the unification of schemas to an unmarshalling 97 * context must be namespace independent. This means that a client 98 * application is able to unmarshal XML documents that are instances of 99 * any of the schemas listed in the {@code contextPath}. For example: 100 * 101 * <pre> 102 * JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo:com.acme.bar" ); 103 * Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller(); 104 * FooObject fooObj = (FooObject)u.unmarshal( new File( "foo.xml" ) ); // ok 105 * BarObject barObj = (BarObject)u.unmarshal( new File( "bar.xml" ) ); // ok 106 * BazObject bazObj = (BazObject)u.unmarshal( new File( "baz.xml" ) ); // error, "com.acme.baz" not in contextPath 107 * </pre> 108 * 109 * <p> 110 * The client application may also generate Java content trees explicitly rather 111 * than unmarshalling existing XML data. For all JAXB-annotated value classes, 112 * an application can create content using constructors. 113 * For schema-derived interface/implementation classes and for the 114 * creation of elements that are not bound to a JAXB-annotated 115 * class, an application needs to have access and knowledge about each of 116 * the schema derived {@code ObjectFactory} classes that exist in each of 117 * java packages contained in the {@code contextPath}. For each schema 118 * derived java class, there is a static factory method that produces objects 119 * of that type. For example, 120 * assume that after compiling a schema, you have a package {@code com.acme.foo} 121 * that contains a schema derived interface named {@code PurchaseOrder}. In 122 * order to create objects of that type, the client application would use the 123 * factory method like this: 124 * 125 * <pre> 126 * com.acme.foo.PurchaseOrder po = 127 * com.acme.foo.ObjectFactory.createPurchaseOrder(); 128 * </pre> 129 * 130 * <p> 131 * Once the client application has an instance of the the schema derived object, 132 * it can use the mutator methods to set content on it. 133 * 134 * <p> 135 * For more information on the generated {@code ObjectFactory} classes, see 136 * Section 4.2 <i>Java Package</i> of the specification. 137 * 138 * <p> 139 * <i>The provider must generate a class in each 140 * package that contains all of the necessary object factory methods for that 141 * package named ObjectFactory as well as the static 142 * {@code newInstance( javaContentInterface )} method</i> 143 * 144 * <h3>Marshalling</h3> 145 * <p> 146 * The {@link Marshaller} class provides the client application the ability 147 * to convert a Java content tree back into XML data. There is no difference 148 * between marshalling a content tree that is created manually using the factory 149 * methods and marshalling a content tree that is the result an {@code unmarshal} 150 * operation. Clients can marshal a java content tree back to XML data 151 * to a {@code java.io.OutputStream} or a {@code java.io.Writer}. The 152 * marshalling process can alternatively produce SAX2 event streams to a 153 * registered {@code ContentHandler} or produce a DOM Node object. 154 * Client applications have control over the output encoding as well as 155 * whether or not to marshal the XML data as a complete document or 156 * as a fragment. 157 * 158 * <p> 159 * Here is a simple example that unmarshals an XML document and then marshals 160 * it back out: 161 * 162 * <pre> 163 * JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo" ); 164 * 165 * // unmarshal from foo.xml 166 * Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller(); 167 * FooObject fooObj = (FooObject)u.unmarshal( new File( "foo.xml" ) ); 168 * 169 * // marshal to System.out 170 * Marshaller m = jc.createMarshaller(); 171 * m.marshal( fooObj, System.out ); 172 * </pre> 173 * 174 * 175 * <h3>Validation</h3> 176 * <p> 177 * Validation has been changed significantly since JAXB 1.0. The {@link Validator} 178 * class has been deprecated and made optional. This means that you are advised 179 * not to use this class and, in fact, it may not even be available depending on 180 * your JAXB provider. JAXB 1.0 client applications that rely on {@code Validator} 181 * will still work properly when deployed with the JAXB 1.0 runtime system. 182 * 183 * In JAXB 2.0, the {@link Unmarshaller} has included convenince methods that expose 184 * the JAXP 1.3 {@link javax.xml.validation} framework. Please refer to the 185 * {@link Unmarshaller#setSchema(javax.xml.validation.Schema)} API for more 186 * information. 187 * 188 * 189 * <h3>JAXB Runtime Binding Framework Compatibility</h3> 190 * <p> 191 * The following JAXB 1.0 restriction only applies to binding schema to 192 * interfaces/implementation classes. 193 * Since this binding does not require a common runtime system, a JAXB 194 * client application must not attempt to mix runtime objects ({@code JAXBContext, 195 * Marshaller}, etc. ) from different providers. This does not 196 * mean that the client application isn't portable, it simply means that a 197 * client has to use a runtime system provided by the same provider that was 198 * used to compile the schema. 199 * 200 * 201 * <h3>Discovery of JAXB implementation</h3> 202 * <p> 203 * To create an instance of {@link JAXBContext}, one of {@code JAXBContext.newInstance(...)} methods is invoked. After 204 * JAX-B implementation is discovered, call is delegated to appropriate provider's method {@code createContext(...)} 205 * passing parameters from the original call. 206 * <p> 207 * JAX-B implementation discovery happens each time {@code JAXBContext.newInstance} is invoked. If there is no user 208 * specific configuration provided, default JAX-B provider must be returned. 209 * <p> 210 * Implementation discovery consists of following steps: 211 * 212 * <ol> 213 * 214 * <li> 215 * Packages/classes explicitly passed in to the {@link #newInstance} method are processed in the order they are 216 * specified, until {@code jaxb.properties} file is looked up in its package, by using the associated classloader — 217 * this is {@link Class#getClassLoader() the owner class loader} for a {@link Class} argument, and for a package 218 * the specified {@link ClassLoader}. 219 * 220 * <p> 221 * If such a resource is discovered, it is {@link Properties#load(InputStream) loaded} as a property file, and 222 * the value of the {@link #JAXB_CONTEXT_FACTORY} key will be assumed to be the provider factory class. If no value 223 * found, {@code "javax.xml.bind.context.factory"} is used as a key for backwards compatibility reasons. This class is 224 * then loaded by the associated class loader discussed above. 225 * 226 * <p> 227 * This phase of the look up allows some packages to force the use of a certain JAXB implementation. 228 * (For example, perhaps the schema compiler has generated some vendor extension in the code.) 229 * 230 * <li> 231 * If the system property {@link #JAXB_CONTEXT_FACTORY} exists, then its value is assumed to be the provider 232 * factory class. If no such property exists, properties {@code "javax.xml.bind.context.factory"} and 233 * {@code "javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext"} are checked too (in this order), for backwards compatibility reasons. This phase 234 * of the look up enables per-JVM override of the JAXB implementation. 235 * 236 * <li> 237 * Provider of {@link javax.xml.bind.JAXBContextFactory} is loaded using the service-provider loading 238 * facilities, defined by the {@link java.util.ServiceLoader} class, to attempt 239 * to locate and load an implementation of the service using the {@linkplain 240 * java.util.ServiceLoader#load(java.lang.Class) default loading mechanism}: the service-provider loading facility 241 * will use the {@linkplain java.lang.Thread#getContextClassLoader() current thread's context class loader} 242 * to attempt to load the context factory. If the context class loader is null, the 243 * {@linkplain ClassLoader#getSystemClassLoader() system class loader} will be used. 244 * <br> 245 * In case of {@link java.util.ServiceConfigurationError service 246 * configuration error} a {@link javax.xml.bind.JAXBException} will be thrown. 247 * 248 * <li> 249 * Look for resource {@code /META-INF/services/javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext} using provided class loader. 250 * Methods without class loader parameter use {@code Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()}. 251 * If such a resource exists, its content is assumed to be the provider factory class. 252 * 253 * This configuration method is deprecated. 254 * 255 * <li> 256 * Finally, if all the steps above fail, then the rest of the look up is unspecified. That said, 257 * the recommended behavior is to simply look for some hard-coded platform default JAXB implementation. 258 * This phase of the look up is so that Java SE can have its own JAXB implementation as the last resort. 259 * </ol> 260 * 261 * <p> 262 * Once the provider factory class is discovered, context creation is delegated to one of its 263 * {@code createContext(...)} methods. 264 * 265 * For backward compatibility reasons, there are two ways how to implement provider factory class: 266 * <ol> 267 * <li>the class is implementation of {@link javax.xml.bind.JAXBContextFactory}. It must also implement no-arg 268 * constructor. If discovered in other step then 3, new instance using no-arg constructor is created first. 269 * After that, appropriate instance method is invoked on this instance. 270 * <li>the class is not implementation of interface above and then it is mandated to implement the following 271 * static method signatures: 272 * <pre> 273 * 274 * public static JAXBContext createContext( 275 * String contextPath, 276 * ClassLoader classLoader, 277 * Map<String,Object> properties ) throws JAXBException 278 * 279 * public static JAXBContext createContext( 280 * Class[] classes, 281 * Map<String,Object> properties ) throws JAXBException 282 * </pre> 283 * In this scenario, appropriate static method is used instead of instance method. This approach is incompatible 284 * with {@link java.util.ServiceLoader} so it can't be used with step 3. 285 * </ol> 286 * <p> 287 * There is no difference in behavior of given method {@code createContext(...)} regardless of whether it uses approach 288 * 1 (JAXBContextFactory) or 2 (no interface, static methods). 289 * 290 * @apiNote 291 * Service discovery method using resource {@code /META-INF/services/javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext} (described in step 4) 292 * is supported only to allow backwards compatibility, it is strongly recommended to migrate to standard 293 * {@link java.util.ServiceLoader} mechanism (described in step 3). The difference here is the resource name, which 294 * doesn't match service's type name. 295 * <p> 296 * Also using providers implementing interface {@link JAXBContextFactory} is preferred over using ones defining 297 * static methods, same as {@link JAXBContext#JAXB_CONTEXT_FACTORY} property is preferred over property 298 * {@code "javax.xml.bind.context.factory"} 299 * 300 * @implNote 301 * Within the last step, if Glassfish AS environment detected, its specific service loader is used to find factory class. 302 * 303 * @author <ul><li>Ryan Shoemaker, Sun Microsystems, Inc.</li> 304 * <li>Kohsuke Kawaguchi, Sun Microsystems, Inc.</li> 305 * <li>Joe Fialli, Sun Microsystems, Inc.</li></ul> 306 * 307 * @see Marshaller 308 * @see Unmarshaller 309 * @see <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-7.html#jls-7.4.1">S 7.4.1 "Named Packages" 310 * in Java Language Specification</a> 311 * 312 * @since 1.6, JAXB 1.0 313 */ 314 public abstract class JAXBContext { 315 316 /** 317 * The name of the property that contains the name of the class capable 318 * of creating new {@code JAXBContext} objects. 319 */ 320 public static final String JAXB_CONTEXT_FACTORY = "javax.xml.bind.JAXBContextFactory"; 321 322 protected JAXBContext() { 323 } 324 325 326 /** 327 * Create a new instance of a {@code JAXBContext} class. 328 * 329 * <p> 330 * This is a convenience method to invoke the 331 * {@link #newInstance(String,ClassLoader)} method with 332 * the context class loader of the current thread. 333 * 334 * @throws JAXBException if an error was encountered while creating the 335 * {@code JAXBContext}.
