/**
* The Unmarshaller class governs the process of deserializing XML
* data into newly created Java content trees, optionally validating the XML
* data as it is unmarshalled. It provides an overloading of unmarshal methods
* for many different input kinds.
*
*
* Unmarshalling from a File:
*
*
* JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo" );
* Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
* Object o = u.unmarshal( new File( "nosferatu.xml" ) );
*
*
*
*
*
* Unmarshalling from an InputStream:
*
*
* InputStream is = new FileInputStream( "nosferatu.xml" );
* JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo" );
* Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
* Object o = u.unmarshal( is );
*
*
*
*
* Unmarshalling from a URL:
*
*
* JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo" );
* Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
* URL url = new URL( "http://beaker.east/nosferatu.xml" );
* Object o = u.unmarshal( url );
*
*
*
*
* Unmarshalling from a StringBuffer using a
* javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource:
*
*
* JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo" );
* Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
* StringBuffer xmlStr = new StringBuffer( "<?xml version="1.0"?>..." );
* Object o = u.unmarshal( new StreamSource( new StringReader( xmlStr.toString() ) ) );
*
*
*
*
* Unmarshalling from a org.w3c.dom.Node:

*
* DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
* dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);

*
* XMLReader xmlReader = saxParser.getXMLReader();

* Object o = u.unmarshal( source );
*
* // check for events
* if( vec.hasEvents() ) {
* // iterate over events
* }
*
*
*
*
* Unmarshalling from a StAX XMLStreamReader:
*
*
* JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo" );
* Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
*
* javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader xmlStreamReader =
* javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory().newInstance().createXMLStreamReader( ... );
*
* Object o = u.unmarshal( xmlStreamReader );
*
*
*
*
* Unmarshalling from a StAX XMLEventReader:
*
*
* JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo" );
* Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
*
* javax.xml.stream.XMLEventReader xmlEventReader =
* javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory().newInstance().createXMLEventReader( ... );
*
* Object o = u.unmarshal( xmlEventReader );
*
*
*
*
* Unmarshalling can deserialize XML data that represents either an entire XML document
* or a subtree of an XML document. Typically, it is sufficient to use the
* unmarshalling methods described by
* Unmarshal root element that is declared globally.
* These unmarshal methods utilize {@link JAXBContext}'s mapping of global XML element
* declarations and type definitions to JAXB mapped classes to initiate the
* unmarshalling of the root element of XML data. When the {@link JAXBContext}'s
* mappings are not sufficient to unmarshal the root element of XML data,
* the application can assist the unmarshalling process by using the
* unmarshal by declaredType methods.
* These methods are useful for unmarshalling XML data where
* the root element corresponds to a local element declaration in the schema.
*
*
*
* An unmarshal method never returns null. If the unmarshal process is unable to unmarshal
* the root of XML content to a JAXB mapped object, a fatal error is reported that
* terminates processing by throwing JAXBException.
*
*
*
*
* Unmarshal a root element that is globally declared
*
* The unmarshal methods that do not have an declaredType parameter use
* {@link JAXBContext} to unmarshal the root element of an XML data. The {@link JAXBContext}
* instance is the one that was used to create this Unmarshaller. The {@link JAXBContext}
* instance maintains a mapping of globally declared XML element and type definition names to
* JAXB mapped classes. The unmarshal method checks if {@link JAXBContext} has a mapping
* from the root element's XML name and/or @xsi:type to a JAXB mapped class. If it does, it umarshalls the
* XML data using the appropriate JAXB mapped class. Note that when the root element name is unknown and the root
* element has an @xsi:type, the XML data is unmarshalled
* using that JAXB mapped class as the value of a {@link JAXBElement}.
* When the {@link JAXBContext} object does not have a mapping for the root element's name
* nor its @xsi:type, if it exists,
* then the unmarshal operation will abort immediately by throwing a {@link UnmarshalException
* UnmarshalException}. This exception scenario can be worked around by using the unmarshal by
* declaredType methods described in the next subsection.
*
*
*
*
* Unmarshal by Declared Type
*
* The unmarshal methods with a declaredType parameter enable an
* application to deserialize a root element of XML data, even when
* there is no mapping in {@link JAXBContext} of the root element's XML name.
* The unmarshaller unmarshals the root element using the application provided
* mapping specified as the declaredType parameter.
* Note that even when the root element's element name is mapped by {@link JAXBContext},
* the declaredType parameter overrides that mapping for
* deserializing the root element when using these unmarshal methods.
* Additionally, when the root element of XML data has an xsi:type attribute and
* that attribute's value references a type definition that is mapped
* to a JAXB mapped class by {@link JAXBContext}, that the root
* element's xsi:type attribute takes
* precedence over the unmarshal methods declaredType parameter.
* These methods always return a JAXBElement<declaredType>
* instance. The table below shows how the properties of the returned JAXBElement
* instance are set.

*
*
*
* The following is an example of
* unmarshal by declaredType method.
*
* Unmarshal by declaredType from a org.w3c.dom.Node:
*
*
* Schema fragment for example
* <xs:schema>
* <xs:complexType name="FooType">...<\xs:complexType>
* <!-- global element declaration "PurchaseOrder" -->
* <xs:element name="PurchaseOrder">
* <xs:complexType>
* <xs:sequence>
* <!-- local element declaration "foo" -->
* <xs:element name="foo" type="FooType"/>
* ...
* </xs:sequence>
* </xs:complexType>
* </xs:element>
* </xs:schema>
*
* JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo" );
* Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
*
* DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
* dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
* DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
* Document doc = db.parse(new File( "nosferatu.xml"));
* Element fooSubtree = ...; // traverse DOM till reach xml element foo, constrained by a
* // local element declaration in schema.
*
* // FooType is the JAXB mapping of the type of local element declaration foo.
* JAXBElement<FooType> foo = u.unmarshal( fooSubtree, FooType.class);
*
*
*
*
* Support for SAX2.0 Compliant Parsers
*
* A client application has the ability to select the SAX2.0 compliant parser
* of their choice. If a SAX parser is not selected, then the JAXB Provider's
* default parser will be used. Even though the JAXB Provider's default parser
* is not required to be SAX2.0 compliant, all providers are required to allow
* a client application to specify their own SAX2.0 parser. Some providers may
* require the client application to specify the SAX2.0 parser at schema compile
* time. See {@link #unmarshal(javax.xml.transform.Source) unmarshal(Source)}
* for more detail.
*
*
*
* Validation and Well-Formedness
*
*
* A client application can enable or disable JAXP 1.3 validation
* mechanism via the setSchema(javax.xml.validation.Schema) API.
* Sophisticated clients can specify their own validating SAX 2.0 compliant
* parser and bypass the JAXP 1.3 validation mechanism using the
* {@link #unmarshal(javax.xml.transform.Source) unmarshal(Source)} API.
*
*
* Since unmarshalling invalid XML content is defined in JAXB 2.0,
* the Unmarshaller default validation event handler was made more lenient
* than in JAXB 1.0. When schema-derived code generated
* by JAXB 1.0 binding compiler is registered with {@link JAXBContext},
* the default unmarshal validation handler is
* {@link javax.xml.bind.helpers.DefaultValidationEventHandler} and it
* terminates the marshal operation after encountering either a fatal error or an error.
* For a JAXB 2.0 client application, there is no explicitly defined default
* validation handler and the default event handling only
* terminates the marshal operation after encountering a fatal error.
*
*
*
*
*
* There currently are not any properties required to be supported by all
* JAXB Providers on Unmarshaller. However, some providers may support
* their own set of provider specific properties.
*
*
*
*
* Unmarshal Event Callbacks
*
* The {@link Unmarshaller} provides two styles of callback mechanisms
* that allow application specific processing during key points in the
* unmarshalling process. In 'class defined' event callbacks, application
* specific code placed in JAXB mapped classes is triggered during
* unmarshalling. 'External listeners' allow for centralized processing
* of unmarshal events in one callback method rather than by type event callbacks.
*
* 'Class defined' event callback methods allow any JAXB mapped class to specify
* its own specific callback methods by defining methods with the following method signature:
*
*
* // This method is called immediately after the object is created and before the unmarshalling of this
* // object begins. The callback provides an opportunity to initialize JavaBean properties prior to unmarshalling.
* void beforeUnmarshal(Unmarshaller, Object parent);
*
* //This method is called after all the properties (except IDREF) are unmarshalled for this object,
* //but before this object is set to the parent object.
* void afterUnmarshal(Unmarshaller, Object parent);
*
*
* The class defined callback methods should be used when the callback method requires
* access to non-public methods and/or fields of the class.
*
* The external listener callback mechanism enables the registration of a {@link Listener}
* instance with an {@link Unmarshaller#setListener(Listener)}. The external listener receives all callback events,
* allowing for more centralized processing than per class defined callback methods. The external listener
* receives events when unmarshalling proces is marshalling to a JAXB element or to JAXB mapped class.
*
* The 'class defined' and external listener event callback methods are independent of each other,
* both can be called for one event. The invocation ordering when both listener callback methods exist is
* defined in {@link Listener#beforeUnmarshal(Object, Object)} and {@link Listener#afterUnmarshal(Object, Object)}.
*
* An event callback method throwing an exception terminates the current unmarshal process.

*
* SAX 2.0 Parser Pluggability
*
* A client application can choose not to use the default parser mechanism
* supplied with their JAXB provider. Any SAX 2.0 compliant parser can be
* substituted for the JAXB provider's default mechanism. To do so, the
* client application must properly configure a SAXSource containing
* an XMLReader implemented by the SAX 2.0 parser provider. If the
* XMLReader has an org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler registered
* on it, it will be replaced by the JAXB Provider so that validation errors
* can be reported via the ValidationEventHandler mechanism of
* JAXB. If the SAXSource does not contain an XMLReader,
* then the JAXB provider's default parser mechanism will be used.
*
* This parser replacement mechanism can also be used to replace the JAXB
* provider's unmarshal-time validation engine. The client application
* must properly configure their SAX 2.0 compliant parser to perform
* validation (as shown in the example above). Any SAXParserExceptions
* encountered by the parser during the unmarshal operation will be
* processed by the JAXB provider and converted into JAXB
* ValidationEvent objects which will be reported back to the
* client via the ValidationEventHandler registered with the
* Unmarshaller. Note: specifying a substitute validating
* SAX 2.0 parser for unmarshalling does not necessarily replace the
* validation engine used by the JAXB provider for performing on-demand
* validation.
*
* The only way for a client application to specify an alternate parser
* mechanism to be used during unmarshal is via the
* unmarshal(SAXSource) API. All other forms of the unmarshal
* method (File, URL, Node, etc) will use the JAXB provider's default
* parser and validator mechanisms.
