JAXB
• The Java Architecture for XML Binding
• Bibliography:

1
JAXB
• Like SAX and DOM in that the application
developer does not have to parse the XML
• Unlike SAX and DOM it is tied to a
particular document schema
• Fast like SAX
• In memory representation like DOM but
without all the general tree manipulation
facilities
2
JAXB
• An XML Document is an instance of a
schema
• A Java object is an instance of a class
• JAXB reads a schema and produces a class
• Previously, the only schema supported was
the Document Type Definition (DTD)
• Currently, the only schema supported is
XSDL
3
In general - Data Binding involves:
• Source generation
From constraints to code
• Unmarshalling
Reading
• Marshalling
Writing
• Binding Schemas
Details about how the XML is to be mapped to
Java classes (very important with DTD’s)
4
JAXB
• Augments the standard DTD by providing type
conversion
<!ELEMENT notional (#PCDATA)>
:
:
<notional>100.00</notional>
• With JAXB we can make sure that Java converts
this to a BigDecimal automatically
5
The Binding Schema
• JAXB requires that we use a DTD AND a
“Binding Schema”
• The Binding Schema is an XML document
.java file(s)
DTD
JAXB
Binding
Schema
javac
.class files
6
The Binding Schema
• The binding schema contains instructions on how
to bind a schema to classes.
• It might say that :
– this attribute (in the XML document) should be treated
as an int
– this element’s content is a BigDecimal
– this element’s content is a String
– this element should be treated as a class
– and so on …

Running Old JAXB with DTD’s
C:\McCarthy\www\95-733\examples\jaxb>java -jar
D:\jaxb\jaxb-1.0-ea\lib\jaxb-xjc-1.0-ea.jar -help
Usage: xjc <schema> [ <binding-schema> ] [ -d <directory> ]
[ -roots <element-list> ]
Options:
-d <directory>
Specify the destination directory for the
Java output
-roots <element-list> Designate one or more root elements
(comma separated)
-version
Print the compiler's version number and exit
-help
Print this message and exit

Book.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "book.dtd">
<book>
<title>The Catcher in the Rye </title>

<chapter>If you really want to hear about it...
</chapter>
</book>

Book.dtd
<!ELEMENT book (title,author, chapter)>
<!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)>
