.xjs customization in JAXB

Hi!
I am using JAXB to generate my java classes. I have a third party dtd which I am using in the process.
I really need to change the names of the classes that the xjc compiler is generating (for eg , for a request element in the dtd xjc generates Request.java ; what i really need is MyProjectRequest.java ) .
Of course, I can make changes manually ; but is there a tag in the binding schema that will help me specify this ??
Thanks !
Mayura

Thanks a lot!
Btw, are all the tags that a .xjs file takes documented anywhere??
Its feels rather silly to struggle so much for little things.(Moreover, I am an XML rookie ...so I don't have much f an instinct when it comes to that!)
Thanks again.

Using the xjc:superClass customization in jaxb

Hi,
I'm having some problems with the <xjc:superClass> customization when I use this, the properties of my superClass don't get serialized to xml the xml file is empty. Can sombody help me with this problem?
this is my xsd:
<xsd:schema jaxb:version="1.0" jaxb:extensionBindingPrefixes="xjc" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:jaxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc">

          <xsd:appinfo>
               <jaxb:globalBindings generateIsSetMethod="true">
                    <xjc:serializable/>
                    <xjc:superClass name="VtProduct"/>
               </jaxb:globalBindings>
          </xsd:appinfo>
     </xsd:annotation>
     <xsd:element name="fastrackProduct">
</xsd:schema>and this is my VtProduct from witch the fastrackProduct should extend:
public class VtProduct implements Serializable {
    private String code;
    private String description;
    private int priceInCents;
    private String deliveryName;
    private String uid;
    public VtProduct() {
    public String getCode() {
        return this.code;
    public void setCode(String code) {
        this.code = code;
    public String getDescription() {
        return this.description;
    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    public int getPriceInCents() {
        return this.priceInCents;
    public void setPriceInCents(int priceInCents) {
        this.priceInCents = priceInCents;
    public String getDeliveryName() {
        return this.deliveryName;
    public void setDeliveryName(java.lang.String deliveryName) {
        this.deliveryName = deliveryName;
    public String getUid() {
        return this.uid;
    public void setUid(java.lang.String uid) {
        this.uid = uid;
}This is what i'm trying to do im my main class:
FastrackProductImpl po = new FastrackProductImpl();
po.setCode("1234567890");
po.setDeliveryName("Delivery name");
po.setDescription("Description");
po.setPriceInCents(1000);
po.setUid("0987654321");
po.setFastrackProductId("FSID1234");
FileOutputStream mout = new FileOutputStream("fastrackProduct.xml");
marshaller.marshal(po, mout);
mout.close();

Thanks a lot!

Class Name customization in JAXB

Does Sun Jaxb allows customizing class names so that they are same as in schema definition, instad of Java format. For example, if a purhcaseorder schema has complex type named purchaseorder, jaxb generates Class by PurchaseOrder, is there a way to not to do this. Similllary for elements and attributes
Thanks

Customize JAXB? Ha ha ha! That's a good one.
I can't remember if this is one of the irregular selection of things you can specify. Have you messed around with the binding document? I can't remember what they call it. It's a mapping doucment that's supposed to allow you to do this type of thing but I find it's often not functional.

Jaxb 2 customization issue

I am new to JAXB2 world.
-I have a xml document whose xsd has imports of other xsds. I have the corresponding domain model and java objects in hand. The names of the classes/attibutes differ from that of those specified in the xsd; Thus did the jaxb 2.0 customization. JAXB is throwing a nullpointer exception when it encounters the import of other xsd in the calling xsd but works well, otherwise.
-In the case of complicated java domain models and xml bining, would the usuage of Jibx be preferable over Jaxb...any suggestions?!
-Also please suggest a good book/articles about java domain and xml binding.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
For complicated models, or for situations in which you want to map an existing object model to an existing XML schema you need a tool that goes beyond JAXB.
I am the team lead for Oracle TopLink Object-to-XML (JAXB) and was a member of the JAXB 2.0 (JSR-222) expert group so I'll share my thoughts.
- TopLink OXM provides a visual tool, the TopLink Workbench to map an existing XML schema to an existing object model.
- TopLink OXM can be exposed through the standard JAXB runtime APIs.
- TopLink OXM can be run with any JAXP compliant parser. Many binding solutions are dependent on a specific parser.

JAXB: How to have my generated classes subclass some other outside class ?

With my XJS and DTD, JAXB generates the following:
public class FraisMessage
    extends MarshallableRootElement
    implements RootElement
{ etc...I would like it to generate this instead:
public class FraisMessage extends MyOtherClass
    extends MarshallableRootElement
    implements RootElement
{ etc...MyOtherClass is another class outside the scope of JAXB
How do I do this ? What do I have to put in my XJS to get this ?

You cannot do that. TheJAVA language does not allow a class to "extend" more than one upper class.
Typically, the solution is to modify your architecture a little bit. Just use the "has a" relationship instead of "is a". That means something like that:public class MyFraisMessage
    extends MyOtherClass
    private FraisMessage message;
etc...You write an extension "MyFraisMessage" of your upper class "MyOtherClass", which has the JAXB generated object as an attribute. This structure is often useful, when you think you would need multiple inheritance.

When i ran the xjc , it generated 3 .java files
AddCtq.java , Ctq.java and VariableData.java
But i am unable to compile any of the above files...
The Error i am getting is
VariableData.java:710: Undefined variable or class name: AddCtq
return AddCtq.newDispatcher();
^
1 error
If i try to compile AddCtq.java , the Error i am getting is
AddCtq.java:4: Class com.geindustrial.sqms.Ctq not found in import.
import com.geindustrial.sqms.Ctq;
^
AddCtq.java:169: Class com.geindustrial.sqms.Ctq not found.
if (!(ob instanceof Ctq)) {
^
AddCtq.java:170: Class com.geindustrial.sqms.Ctq not found.
throw new InvalidContentObjectException(ob, (Ctq.class));
^
3 errors
And when i try to compile Ctq.java , i am getting the following Error:
Ctq.java:4: Class com.geindustrial.sqms.VariableData not found in import.
import com.geindustrial.sqms.VariableData;
^
1 error
How to solve this problem..Pls advise...
Thanks
Sateesh

I suspect you are trying to compile the files one by one. You may also be trying to compile them disregarding the package structure.
From your post, I gather these files are in the package: com.geindustrial.sqms
Therefore, if they are not so already, put them under a directory structure:
com/geindustrial/sqms
and then compile with:
javac com/geindustrial/sqms/AddCtq.java com/geindustrial/sqms/Ctq.java com/geindustrial/sqms/VariableData.java
(The above is all on one line.)

Where is the "set" method for this ELEMENT?

Hi
I'm trying to understand the relationship between the DTD and XJS, and the JAXB generated code.
Consider the example DTD, XJS, and generated source code (i.e., "value07.java") for ELEMENT value07, below ...
QUESTION#1: Why is there no "set" method generated for ELEMENT "value07a" within the generated value07.java ???
QUESTION#2: How to I code the DTD/XJS in order to force the generation of a "set" method in value07.java???.
-- I want to be able to set a new value for ELEMENT "value07a" in order to generate an XML document containing the new value!!
(NOTE: the reason that ELEMENT value07 (as well as other ELEMENTs) has only a single subelement, is in order to satisfy the XSLT definition in a preexisting application.)

I discovered something similar this morning...i.e., for
<element name="value07" type="class">
<content>
<element-ref name="value07a" />
</content>
</element>
-- I did something like this...
Value7 v7 = new Value7();
for (int i=0; i< Value7_input_array.length; i++)
((List)(v7.getValue07A())).add(Value7_input_array);
Thanks for responding, barry!

Binding ANY in (JAXB) xjs

Any ideas on how i bind the following dtd entry in my xjs file.
<!ELEMENT ResultData ANY>
Where i want the ResultData to pick up any tags in between, even as just a string or something, without trying to marshal it.
eg
<ResultData>
<id>1</id>
<name>test</name>
</ResultData>
Thanx for any advice and i am sorry if this is a simple question!
Kris

Hi
I am having the same problem too. If any of you have solved this problem kindly enlighten me. In between, I found the following in the specification
A wildcard is mapped to a simple content-property with:
Content-property name set to the constant �any�. A binding schema customization could provide a more semantically meaningful contentproperty
name.
Content-property base type set to java.lang.Object by default.Wildcard content encountering during unmarshalling is supported if global XML element tags occurring in �strict� or �lax� wildcard context are known to the instance of javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext, meaning that the schema(s) describing the element content occurring in the wildcard context is registered with the JAXBContext instance, see Section 3.2, �JAXBContext,� on page 24 on how bindings are registered with a JAXBContext instance. A JAXB implementation is only required to be able to marshall and unmarshal global element content to/from �strict�/�lax� wildcard context that is registered and valid according to the schema(s) registered to JAXBContext. The specification does not specify how a JAXB implementation handles element content that it does not know how to map to a Java representation.
See content-property predicate for a wildcard.
If the maxOccurs is greater than one, the content property is mapped to a collection property. The default collection property is a List property.
These is no default value.
But still I could'nt make the necessary changes !
Thanks

Jaxb: customization for superClass

Hi,
I' trying to get JAXB to extend one of my classes in the implementation classes in the impl/ package. In the tutorial (1.1) there is some obscure hint to an xjc:superClass customization, but that seems not to work :-(
Can someone point me to some more info or give me a hint how to do it?
Thx & ciao,
Leif

JAXB DTD and XJS element specification

I have a DTD with the following element declaration:
<!ELEMENT PersonIdentifiers ((GvtNbr, (IdSateNbr, IdStateCd)?) | (IdStateNbr, IdStateCd))>
GvtNbr, IdStateNbr, and IdStateCd are all #PCDATA
How can I structure my XJS in order that I don't just have to call getContent() and then search for what I want?

Have you tried an interface, which would consist of an IDStateNbr and an IDStateCd?
the only problem with your setup and jaxb right now is that jaxb will choke on validation, if your optional element isn't present. hopefully, this bug will be fixed when the 1.0 version comes out, later this year...

JAXB External Customizations

Hello all,
I've been trying to build a JAXB external customizations file that covers several schemas simultaneously. The JWS 2.0 tutorial mentions the following regarding an external customizations file ...
You can have a single binding file that contains customizations for multiple schemas,
or you can break the customizations into multiple bindings files; for example:
xjc schema1.xsd schema2.xsd schema3.xsd -b bindings123.xjb
xjc schema1.xsd schema2.xsd schema3.xsd -b bindings1.xjb -b
bindings2.xjb -b bindings3.xjb
Note that the ordering of schema files and binding files on the command line
does not matter, although each binding customization file must be preceded by
its own -b switch on the command line.
The JAXB documentation says that the external file format is as follows:
<jxb:bindings schemaLocation = "xs:anyURI">
<jxb:bindings node = "xs:string">*
<binding declaration>
<jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>
where schemaLocation is of the form schemaLocation="some-schema.xsd"
My question is, how do I reference multiple schemas inside the same customizations file? Everything I've tried to date has failed except creating separate customizations files for each schema. Thanks In Advance.

Hi.
I have already read it. I don't know how to define wsdlLocation (main wsdl or another wsdl?) inside example jaxb bindings. I have tried something like
<jxb:bindings version="1.0" xmlns:jxb="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<jxb:bindings wsdlLocation="path.to.my.main.wsdl" node="//xs:complexType[@name='objectFactory']">
<jxb:class name="MyObjectFactory" />
</jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings> and I'm getting error
[ERROR] XPath evaluation of "//xs:complexType[@name='objectFactory']" results in
empty target node
line 2 of file:myBinding.xjb

Customize names of generated JAXB classes

I have a peculiar requirement. We have been using JAXB1.0 in our project to parse XMLs. External binding files were used to provide proper names for the generated JAXB classes. Now, I have an xml that looks something like this:
//sample xml. Original format is much bigger
<b>
<MasterTag>
<attr id="123">Value1</attr>
<attr id="736">Value2</attr>
<attr id="900">value3</attr>
</MasterTag>
</b>
There's a property file which has key value pairs for the attr id
Eg:
<b>
123=CompanyID
736=CompanyAddress
900=CompanyPinCode
</b>
Is it possible to generate JAXB classes names based on the attr id value? These values finally need to persisted in the db. JAXB is the preferred technology.
Any other ideas are also welcome. Thanks.

I might be misunderstanding your question, but if you control the single large schema, it would be simple to define the things that you want to treat specially as either individual elements or complexTypes inside the single schema file. Using psuedo-schema, say you have something like this now:
<xs:element name='Information'>
<xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name='Header'>
          
      </xs:element>
      <xs:element name='Item' maxOccurs='unbounded'>
          
      </xs:element>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>You can change that to:
<xs:element name='Information'>
<xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element ref='Header'/>
      <xs:element name='Item' maxOccurs='unbounded'>
          
      </xs:element>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name='Header'>

</xs:element>That should produce distinct classes for your Information and Header elements. You similary can break out the Item and Trailer elements.

JAXB compiler problem in handling xsd:any and nillble = "true"

Dear all,
i am using jdeveloper 10.1.3.1 production release version.
i am designing a xml schema that contain element of attribute nillable="true", for extensible, contain tag <xsd:any>.
but i encounter 2 problem:
1. for xml schema element with attribute nillable="true", no corresponding isNil(), setNil
method is generated (refer to jaxb 1.0 spec. 5.7.1)
2. cannot handle tag <xs:any> that generate incorrect java source code (cannot compile) [refer to jaxb 1.0 spec 5.9.5)
*** i have add jaxb customization tag inside the <xs:any> tag
***   <xs:annotation><xs:appinfo>
***               <jaxb:property name="Extension"/>
***</xs:appinfo></xs:annotation>
Does oracle's JAXB implementation conform to the JAXB 1.0 spec?
Is it a known bug?
Could anybody help me?

Refer to section
E.2 Not Required XML Schema
concepts
"A JAXB implementation is not required to support the following XML Schema
concepts for this version of the specification. A JAXB implementation may
choose to support these features in an implementation dependent manner."
E.2.2 Not supported while manipulating the XML
content
Schema component: wildcard
(any)
how can i know if an xml element with xsi:nil="true" (unmarshal)
and set xsi:nil="true" for an element (marshal) ?
According to the JAXB 1.0 specification:
If {nillable} is "true", the methods setNil() and isNil() are
generated.
