For people who have played with JAXB 1.x, JAXB 2.0 has the same beahavior: it can marshall/unmarshall object from/to XML. But the syntax is completly different. It uses all kind of annotations. This blog is just about writing and executing a good old Hello World with JAXB 2.0.
First you need to download and install the binary. For the following example you will just need to put jaxb-api.jar and jaxb-impl.jar in your classpath.
The following code represents a HelloWorld class with two attributes. The main method creates a HelloWorld object, sets some values, marshalles it to the hello.xml file, displays the xml representation, unmarshalles the xml file into a HelloWord and displays the toString method :
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext; import javax.xml.bind.Marshaller; import javax.xml.bind.Unmarshaller; import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileOutputStream; @XmlRootElement public class HelloWorld { private String hello; private Integer world; public String getHello() { return hello; } public void setHello(String hello) { this.hello = hello; } public Integer getWorld() { return world; } public void setWorld(Integer world) { this.world = world; } public String toString() { return hello "-" world; } public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // Set up file and JAXB context final File file = new File("hello.xml"); JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(HelloWorld.class); // Creates a HelloWorld object HelloWorld hw = new HelloWorld(); hw.setHello("Hello !!!"); hw.setWorld(1234); // From a HelloWorld object creates a hello.xml file Marshaller m = context.createMarshaller(); m.marshal(hw, new FileOutputStream(file)); m.marshal(hw, System.out); // From the hello.xml file creates a HelloWorld object Unmarshaller um = context.createUnmarshaller(); HelloWorld hw2 = (HelloWorld) um.unmarshal(file); System.out.println("\n\n" + hw2); } }
