/**
* The {@code JAXBContext} class provides the client's entry point to the
* JAXB API. It provides an abstraction for managing the XML/Java binding
* information necessary to implement the JAXB binding framework operations:
* unmarshal, marshal and validate.
*
* A client application normally obtains new instances of this class using
* one of these two styles for newInstance methods, although there are other
* specialized forms of the method available:
*
*
* - {@link #newInstance(String, ClassLoader) JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo:com.acme.bar" )}
* The JAXBContext instance is initialized from a list of colon
* separated Java package names. Each java package contains
* JAXB mapped classes, schema-derived classes and/or user annotated
* classes. Additionally, the java package may contain JAXB package annotations
* that must be processed. (see JLS, Section 7.4.1 "Named Packages").
*
* - {@link #newInstance(Class...) JAXBContext.newInstance( com.acme.foo.Foo.class )}
* The JAXBContext instance is initialized with class(es)
* passed as parameter(s) and classes that are statically reachable from
* these class(es). See {@link #newInstance(Class...)} for details.
*
*
*
*
* The following JAXB 1.0 requirement is only required for schema to
* java interface/implementation binding. It does not apply to JAXB annotated
* classes. JAXB Providers must generate a {@code jaxb.properties} file in
* each package containing schema derived classes. The property file must
* contain a property named {@code javax.xml.bind.context.factory} whose
* value is the name of the class that implements the {@code createContext}
* APIs.
*
*
* The class supplied by the provider does not have to be assignable to
* {@code javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext}, it simply has to provide a class that
* implements the {@code createContext} APIs.
*
*
* In addition, the provider must call the
* {@link DatatypeConverter#setDatatypeConverter(DatatypeConverterInterface)
* DatatypeConverter.setDatatypeConverter} api prior to any client
* invocations of the marshal and unmarshal methods. This is necessary to
* configure the datatype converter that will be used during these operations.
*
*
*
Unmarshalling
*
* The {@link Unmarshaller} class provides the client application the ability
* to convert XML data into a tree of Java content objects.
* The unmarshal method allows for
* any global XML element declared in the schema to be unmarshalled as
* the root of an instance document.
* Additionally, the unmarshal method allows for an unrecognized root element that
* has an xsi:type attribute's value that references a type definition declared in
* the schema to be unmarshalled as the root of an instance document.
* The {@code JAXBContext} object
* allows the merging of global elements and type definitions across a set of schemas (listed
* in the {@code contextPath}). Since each schema in the schema set can belong
* to distinct namespaces, the unification of schemas to an unmarshalling
* context must be namespace independent. This means that a client
* application is able to unmarshal XML documents that are instances of
* any of the schemas listed in the {@code contextPath}. For example:
*
*
* JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo:com.acme.bar" );
* Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
* FooObject fooObj = (FooObject)u.unmarshal( new File( "foo.xml" ) ); // ok
* BarObject barObj = (BarObject)u.unmarshal( new File( "bar.xml" ) ); // ok
* BazObject bazObj = (BazObject)u.unmarshal( new File( "baz.xml" ) ); // error, "com.acme.baz" not in contextPath
*
*
*
* The client application may also generate Java content trees explicitly rather
* than unmarshalling existing XML data. For all JAXB-annotated value classes,
* an application can create content using constructors.
* For schema-derived interface/implementation classes and for the
* creation of elements that are not bound to a JAXB-annotated
* class, an application needs to have access and knowledge about each of
* the schema derived {@code ObjectFactory} classes that exist in each of
* java packages contained in the {@code contextPath}. For each schema
* derived java class, there is a static factory method that produces objects
* of that type. For example,
* assume that after compiling a schema, you have a package {@code com.acme.foo}
* that contains a schema derived interface named {@code PurchaseOrder}. In
* order to create objects of that type, the client application would use the
* factory method like this:
*
*
* com.acme.foo.PurchaseOrder po =
* com.acme.foo.ObjectFactory.createPurchaseOrder();
*
*
*
* Once the client application has an instance of the the schema derived object,
* it can use the mutator methods to set content on it.
*
*
* For more information on the generated {@code ObjectFactory} classes, see
* Section 4.2 Java Package of the specification.
*
*
* The provider must generate a class in each
* package that contains all of the necessary object factory methods for that
* package named ObjectFactory as well as the static
* {@code newInstance( javaContentInterface )} method
*
*
Marshalling
*
* The {@link Marshaller} class provides the client application the ability
* to convert a Java content tree back into XML data. There is no difference
* between marshalling a content tree that is created manually using the factory
* methods and marshalling a content tree that is the result an {@code unmarshal}
* operation. Clients can marshal a java content tree back to XML data
* to a {@code java.io.OutputStream} or a {@code java.io.Writer}. The
* marshalling process can alternatively produce SAX2 event streams to a
* registered {@code ContentHandler} or produce a DOM Node object.
* Client applications have control over the output encoding as well as
* whether or not to marshal the XML data as a complete document or
* as a fragment.
*
*
* Here is a simple example that unmarshals an XML document and then marshals
* it back out:
*
*
* JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo" );
*
* // unmarshal from foo.xml
* Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
* FooObject fooObj = (FooObject)u.unmarshal( new File( "foo.xml" ) );
*
* // marshal to System.out
* Marshaller m = jc.createMarshaller();
* m.marshal( fooObj, System.out );
*
*
*
* Validation
*
* Validation has been changed significantly since JAXB 1.0. The {@link Validator}
* class has been deprecated and made optional. This means that you are advised
* not to use this class and, in fact, it may not even be available depending on
* your JAXB provider. JAXB 1.0 client applications that rely on {@code Validator}
* will still work properly when deployed with the JAXB 1.0 runtime system.
*
* In JAXB 2.0, the {@link Unmarshaller} has included convenince methods that expose
* the JAXP 1.3 {@link javax.xml.validation} framework. Please refer to the
* {@link Unmarshaller#setSchema(javax.xml.validation.Schema)} API for more
* information.
*
*
*
JAXB Runtime Binding Framework Compatibility
*
* The following JAXB 1.0 restriction only applies to binding schema to
* interfaces/implementation classes.
* Since this binding does not require a common runtime system, a JAXB
* client application must not attempt to mix runtime objects ({@code JAXBContext,
* Marshaller}, etc. ) from different providers. This does not
* mean that the client application isn't portable, it simply means that a
* client has to use a runtime system provided by the same provider that was
* used to compile the schema.
*
*
*
Discovery of JAXB implementation
*
* To create an instance of {@link JAXBContext}, one of {@code JAXBContext.newInstance(...)} methods is invoked. After
* JAX-B implementation is discovered, call is delegated to appropriate provider's method {@code createContext(...)}
* passing parameters from the original call.
*
* JAX-B implementation discovery happens each time {@code JAXBContext.newInstance} is invoked. If there is no user
* specific configuration provided, default JAX-B provider must be returned.
*
* Implementation discovery consists of following steps:
*
*
*
* -
* Packages/classes explicitly passed in to the {@link #newInstance} method are processed in the order they are
* specified, until {@code jaxb.properties} file is looked up in its package, by using the associated classloader —
* this is {@link Class#getClassLoader() the owner class loader} for a {@link Class} argument, and for a package
* the specified {@link ClassLoader}.
*
*
* If such a resource is discovered, it is {@link Properties#load(InputStream) loaded} as a property file, and
* the value of the {@link #JAXB_CONTEXT_FACTORY} key will be assumed to be the provider factory class. If no value
* found, {@code "javax.xml.bind.context.factory"} is used as a key for backwards compatibility reasons. This class is
* then loaded by the associated class loader discussed above.
*
*
* This phase of the look up allows some packages to force the use of a certain JAXB implementation.
* (For example, perhaps the schema compiler has generated some vendor extension in the code.)
*
*
* This configuration method is deprecated.
*
*
-
* If the system property {@link #JAXB_CONTEXT_FACTORY} exists, then its value is assumed to be the provider
* factory class. If no such property exists, properties {@code "javax.xml.bind.context.factory"} and
* {@code "javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext"} are checked too (in this order), for backwards compatibility reasons. This phase
* of the look up enables per-JVM override of the JAXB implementation.
*
*
-
* Provider of {@link javax.xml.bind.JAXBContextFactory} is loaded using the service-provider loading
* facilities, defined by the {@link java.util.ServiceLoader} class, to attempt
* to locate and load an implementation of the service using the {@linkplain
* java.util.ServiceLoader#load(java.lang.Class) default loading mechanism}: the service-provider loading facility
* will use the {@linkplain java.lang.Thread#getContextClassLoader() current thread's context class loader}
* to attempt to load the context factory. If the context class loader is null, the
* {@linkplain ClassLoader#getSystemClassLoader() system class loader} will be used.
*
* In case of {@link java.util.ServiceConfigurationError service
* configuration error} a {@link javax.xml.bind.JAXBException} will be thrown.
*
* -
* Look for resource {@code /META-INF/services/javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext} using provided class loader.
* Methods without class loader parameter use {@code Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()}.
* If such a resource exists, its content is assumed to be the provider factory class.
*
* This configuration method is deprecated.
*
*
-
* Finally, if all the steps above fail, then the rest of the look up is unspecified. That said,
* the recommended behavior is to simply look for some hard-coded platform default JAXB implementation.
* This phase of the look up is so that Java SE can have its own JAXB implementation as the last resort.
*
*
*
* Once the provider factory class is discovered, context creation is delegated to one of its
* {@code createContext(...)} methods.
*
* For backward compatibility reasons, there are two ways how to implement provider factory class:
*
* - the class is implementation of {@link javax.xml.bind.JAXBContextFactory}. It must also implement no-arg
* constructor. If discovered in other step then 3, new instance using no-arg constructor is created first.
* After that, appropriate instance method is invoked on this instance.
*
- the class is not implementation of interface above and then it is mandated to implement the following
* static method signatures:
*
*
* public static JAXBContext createContext(
* String contextPath,
* ClassLoader classLoader,
* Map<String,Object> properties ) throws JAXBException
*
* public static JAXBContext createContext(
* Class[] classes,
* Map<String,Object> properties ) throws JAXBException
*
* In this scenario, appropriate static method is used instead of instance method. This approach is incompatible
* with {@link java.util.ServiceLoader} so it can't be used with step 3.
*
*
* There is no difference in behavior of given method {@code createContext(...)} regardless of whether it uses approach
* 1 (JAXBContextFactory) or 2 (no interface, static methods).
*
* @apiNote
* Service discovery method using resource {@code /META-INF/services/javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext} (described in step 4)
* is supported only to allow backwards compatibility, it is strongly recommended to migrate to standard
* {@link java.util.ServiceLoader} mechanism (described in step 3). The difference here is the resource name, which
* doesn't match service's type name.
*
* Also using providers implementing interface {@link JAXBContextFactory} is preferred over using ones defining
* static methods, same as {@link JAXBContext#JAXB_CONTEXT_FACTORY} property is preferred over property
* {@code "javax.xml.bind.context.factory"}
*
* @implNote
* Within the last step, if Glassfish AS environment detected, its specific service loader is used to find factory class.

*
* - it must contain ObjectFactory.class
* - it must contain jaxb.index
*
*
*
* Format for jaxb.index
*
* The file contains a newline-separated list of class names.
* Space and tab characters, as well as blank
* lines, are ignored. The comment character
* is '#' (0x23); on each line all characters following the first comment
* character are ignored. The file must be encoded in UTF-8. Classes that

* listed classes are also registered with JAXBContext.
*
* Constraints on class name occuring in a {@code jaxb.index} file are:
*
* - Must not end with ".class".
* - Class names are resolved relative to package containing
* {@code jaxb.index} file. Only classes occuring directly in package
* containing {@code jaxb.index} file are allowed.
* - Fully qualified class names are not allowed.
* A qualified class name,relative to current package,
* is only allowed to specify a nested or inner class.
*
*
*
