 184  * Unmarshalling can deserialize XML data that represents either an entire XML document

 186  * unmarshalling methods described by
 187  * <a href="#unmarshalGlobal">Unmarshal root element that is declared globally</a>.
 188  * These unmarshal methods utilize {@link JAXBContext}'s mapping of global XML element
 189  * declarations and type definitions to JAXB mapped classes to initiate the
 190  * unmarshalling of the root element of  XML data.  When the {@link JAXBContext}'s
 191  * mappings are not sufficient to unmarshal the root element of XML data,
 192  * the application can assist the unmarshalling process by using the
 193  * <a href="#unmarshalByDeclaredType">unmarshal by declaredType methods</a>.
 194  * These methods are useful for unmarshalling XML data where
 195  * the root element corresponds to a local element declaration in the schema.

 197  *
 198  * <blockquote>
 199  * An unmarshal method never returns null. If the unmarshal process is unable to unmarshal

 206  * <b>Unmarshal a root element that is globally declared</b><br>
 207  * <blockquote>
 208  * The unmarshal methods that do not have an {@code declaredType} parameter use
 209  * {@link JAXBContext} to unmarshal the root element of an XML data. The {@link JAXBContext}
 210  * instance is the one that was used to create this {@code Unmarshaller}. The {@link JAXBContext}
 211  * instance maintains a mapping of globally declared XML element and type definition names to
 212  * JAXB mapped classes. The unmarshal method checks if {@link JAXBContext} has a mapping
 213  * from the root element's XML name and/or {@code @xsi:type} to a JAXB mapped class.  If it does, it umarshalls the
 214  * XML data using the appropriate JAXB mapped class. Note that when the root element name is unknown and the root
 215  * element has an {@code @xsi:type}, the XML data is unmarshalled
 216  * using that JAXB mapped class as the value of a {@link JAXBElement}.
 217  * When the {@link JAXBContext} object does not have a mapping for the root element's name
 218  * nor its {@code @xsi:type}, if it exists,
 219  * then the unmarshal operation will abort immediately by throwing a {@link UnmarshalException
 220  * UnmarshalException}. This exception scenario can be worked around by using the unmarshal by
 221  * declaredType methods described in the next subsection.

 230  * there is no mapping in {@link JAXBContext} of the root element's XML name.
 231  * The unmarshaller unmarshals the root element using the application provided
 232  * mapping specified as the {@code declaredType} parameter.
 233  * Note that even when the root element's element name is mapped by {@link JAXBContext},
 234  * the {@code declaredType} parameter overrides that mapping for

 324  * time. See {@link #unmarshal(javax.xml.transform.Source) unmarshal(Source)}

 328  * <p>
 329  * <b>Validation and Well-Formedness</b><br>
 330  * <blockquote>
 331  * <p>
 332  * A client application can enable or disable JAXP 1.3 validation
 333  * mechanism via the {@code setSchema(javax.xml.validation.Schema)} API.
 334  * Sophisticated clients can specify their own validating SAX 2.0 compliant

 336  * {@link #unmarshal(javax.xml.transform.Source) unmarshal(Source)}  API.
 337  *
 338  * <p>
 339  * Since unmarshalling invalid XML content is defined in JAXB 2.0,
 340  * the Unmarshaller default validation event handler was made more lenient
 341  * than in JAXB 1.0.  When schema-derived code generated

 343  * the default unmarshal validation handler is
 344  * {@link javax.xml.bind.helpers.DefaultValidationEventHandler} and it

 363  * <a name="unmarshalEventCallback"></a>
 364  * <b>Unmarshal Event Callbacks</b><br>
 365  * <blockquote>
 366  * The {@link Unmarshaller} provides two styles of callback mechanisms
 367  * that allow application specific processing during key points in the
 368  * unmarshalling process.  In 'class defined' event callbacks, application
 369  * specific code placed in JAXB mapped classes is triggered during
 370  * unmarshalling.  'External listeners' allow for centralized processing
 371  * of unmarshal events in one callback method rather than by type event callbacks.
 372  * <p>
 373  * 'Class defined' event callback methods allow any JAXB mapped class to specify
 374  * its own specific callback methods by defining methods with the following method signature:
 375  * <blockquote>
 376  * <pre>
 377  *   // This method is called immediately after the object is created and before the unmarshalling of this
 378  *   // object begins. The callback provides an opportunity to initialize JavaBean properties prior to unmarshalling.
 379  *   void beforeUnmarshal(Unmarshaller, Object parent);
 380  *
 381  *   //This method is called after all the properties (except IDREF) are unmarshalled for this object,
 382  *   //but before this object is set to the parent object.
 383  *   void afterUnmarshal(Unmarshaller, Object parent);
 384  * </pre>
 385  * </blockquote>
 386  * The class defined callback methods should be used when the callback method requires
 387  * access to non-public methods and/or fields of the class.
 388  * <p>
 389  * The external listener callback mechanism enables the registration of a {@link Listener}
 390  * instance with an {@link Unmarshaller#setListener(Listener)}. The external listener receives all callback events,
 391  * allowing for more centralized processing than per class defined callback methods.  The external listener
 392  * receives events when unmarshalling process is marshalling to a JAXB element or to JAXB mapped class.
 393  * <p>
 394  * The 'class defined' and external listener event callback methods are independent of each other,
 395  * both can be called for one event.  The invocation ordering when both listener callback methods exist is
 396  * defined in {@link Listener#beforeUnmarshal(Object, Object)} and {@link Listener#afterUnmarshal(Object, Object)}.
 397 * <p>
 398  * An event callback method throwing an exception terminates the current unmarshal process.

 587      * <p>
 588      * A client application can choose not to use the default parser mechanism
 589      * supplied with their JAXB provider.  Any SAX 2.0 compliant parser can be
 590      * substituted for the JAXB provider's default mechanism.  To do so, the
 591      * client application must properly configure a {@code SAXSource} containing
 592      * an {@code XMLReader} implemented by the SAX 2.0 parser provider.  If the
 593      * {@code XMLReader} has an {@code org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler} registered
 594      * on it, it will be replaced by the JAXB Provider so that validation errors
 595      * can be reported via the {@code ValidationEventHandler} mechanism of
 596      * JAXB.  If the {@code SAXSource} does not contain an {@code XMLReader},
 597      * then the JAXB provider's default parser mechanism will be used.
 598      * <p>
 599      * This parser replacement mechanism can also be used to replace the JAXB
 600      * provider's unmarshal-time validation engine.  The client application
 601      * must properly configure their SAX 2.0 compliant parser to perform
 602      * validation (as shown in the example above).  Any {@code SAXParserExceptions}
 603      * encountered by the parser during the unmarshal operation will be
 604      * processed by the JAXB provider and converted into JAXB
 605      * {@code ValidationEvent} objects which will be reported back to the
 606      * client via the {@code ValidationEventHandler} registered with the
 607      * {@code Unmarshaller}.  <i>Note:</i> specifying a substitute validating
 608      * SAX 2.0 parser for unmarshalling does not necessarily replace the
 609      * validation engine used by the JAXB provider for performing on-demand
 610      * validation.
 611      * <p>
 612      * The only way for a client application to specify an alternate parser
 613      * mechanism to be used during unmarshal is via the
 614      * {@code unmarshal(SAXSource)} API.  All other forms of the unmarshal
 615      * method (File, URL, Node, etc) will use the JAXB provider's default
