Plugins

 

Eclipse XSD plugin. (convert the XML to XSD)

XSD to Marcheled Objects. (convert the XSD to Java Object) JAXB 2.1 Eclipse Plugin.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jaxb-builder/

 

Quck Start

1. Unmarchel XML to Java Object

 

    1.1 Binding Schema: Convert the XSD to marchelled Java Object

           Then we can generate the Marchelled object like this

 

    1.2 Convert  the XML to generate the marchelled Objects.

// bom.jaxb.bo represents where the marchelled objects resides. and they are repsents the XSD at all
JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance("bom.jaxb.bo");
 		
Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
		
SchemaFactory sf = SchemaFactory.newInstance( javax.xml.XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI );

Schema schema = sf.newSchema( new File("src/bom/jaxb/schema/bom_struct.xsd") );
// if pass null into it, it disable the validation
unmarshaller.setSchema(schema); // to make the validation works, I give a very large number of the id field.
		
BomStruct bomStruct = (BomStruct)unmarshaller.unmarshal( new File("src/bom/jaxb/sample.xml") );
		
System.out.println(bomStruct);

 

2. Marchel the Java Object to XML
