public abstract Bridge createBridge(@NotNull
                                    TypeReference ref)
Creates a mini-marshaller/unmarshaller that can process a TypeReference.

getElementPropertyAccessor

public abstract <B,V> RawAccessor<B,V> getElementPropertyAccessor(java.lang.Class<B> wrapperBean,
                                                                  java.lang.String nsUri,
                                                                  java.lang.String localName)
                                                     throws javax.xml.bind.JAXBException
Gets a RawAccessor for the specified element property of the specified wrapper bean class.

This method is designed to assist the JAX-RPC RI fill in a wrapper bean (in the doc/lit/wrap mode.) In the said mode, a wrapper bean is supposed to only have properties that match elements, and for each element that appear in the content model there's one property.

Therefore, this method takes a wrapper bean and a tag name that identifies a property on the given wrapper bean, then returns a RawAccessor that allows the caller to set/get a value from the property of the bean.

This method is not designed for a performance. The caller is expected to cache the result.

Type Parameters:
B - type of the wrapper bean
V - type of the property of the bean
Returns:
always return non-null valid accessor object.
Throws:
javax.xml.bind.JAXBException - if the specified wrapper bean is not bound by JAXB, or if it doesn't have an element property of the given name.
Since:
2.0 EA1

getKnownNamespaceURIs

@NotNull
public abstract java.util.List<java.lang.String> getKnownNamespaceURIs()
Gets the namespace URIs statically known to this JAXBContext.

When JAXB is used to marshal into sub-trees, it declares these namespace URIs at each top-level element that it marshals. To avoid repeated namespace declarations at sub-elements, the application may declare those namespaces at a higher level.

Returns:
always non-null.
Since:
2.0 EA2

generateSchema

public abstract void generateSchema(@NotNull
                                    javax.xml.bind.SchemaOutputResolver outputResolver)
                             throws java.io.IOException
Generates the schema documents from the model.

The caller can use the additionalElementDecls parameter to add element declarations to the generate schema. For example, if the JAX-RPC passes in the following entry: {foo}bar -> DeclaredType for java.lang.String then JAXB generates the following element declaration (in the schema document for the namespace "foo")" <xs:element name="bar" type="xs:string" /> This can be used for generating schema components necessary for WSDL.

Overrides:
generateSchema in class javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext
Parameters:
outputResolver - this object controls the output to which schemas will be sent.
Throws:
java.io.IOException - if SchemaOutputResolver throws an IOException.

getTypeName

public abstract javax.xml.namespace.QName getTypeName(@NotNull
                                                      TypeReference tr)
Returns the name of the XML Type bound to the specified Java type.

Parameters:
tr - must not be null. This must be one of the TypeReferences specified in the newInstance(java.lang.Class[], java.util.Collection, java.util.Map, java.lang.String, boolean, RuntimeAnnotationReader) method.
Returns:
null if the referenced type is an anonymous and therefore doesn't have a name.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the parameter is null or not a part of the TypeReferences specified in the newInstance(java.lang.Class[], java.util.Collection, java.util.Map, java.lang.String, boolean, RuntimeAnnotationReader) method.

getBuildId

@NotNull
public abstract java.lang.String getBuildId()
Gets the build information of the JAXB runtime.

Returns:
may be null, if the runtime is loaded by a class loader that doesn't support the access to the manifest informatino.

generateEpisode

public abstract void generateEpisode(javax.xml.transform.Result output)
Generates the episode file that represents the binding known to this JAXBContext, so that XJC can later do separate compilation.

Episode file is really just a JAXB customization file, except that currently we use the RI-specific SCD to refer to schema components.

Parameters:
output - This receives the generated episode file.
Since:
2.1

getRuntimeTypeInfoSet

public abstract RuntimeTypeInfoSet getRuntimeTypeInfoSet()
Allows you to access the runtime model information of the JAXB XML/Java binding.

This is useful for doing a deeper integration with the JAXB RI. For more information about the model, see https://jaxb2-reflection.dev.java.net/

Since:
2.1.10

mangleNameToVariableName

@NotNull
public static java.lang.String mangleNameToVariableName(@NotNull
                                                                java.lang.String localName)
Computes a Java identifier from a local name.

This method faithfully implements the name mangling rule as specified in the JAXB spec.

In JAXB, a collision with a Java reserved word (such as "return") never happens. Accordingly, this method may return an identifier that collides with reserved words.

Use JJavaName.isJavaIdentifier(String) to check for such collision.

Returns:
Typically, this method returns "nameLikeThis".

mangleNameToClassName

@NotNull
public static java.lang.String mangleNameToClassName(@NotNull
                                                             java.lang.String localName)
Computes a Java class name from a local name.

This method faithfully implements the name mangling rule as specified in the JAXB spec.

Returns:
Typically, this method returns "NameLikeThis".

mangleNameToPropertyName

@NotNull
public static java.lang.String mangleNameToPropertyName(@NotNull
                                                                java.lang.String localName)
Computes a Java class name from a local name.

This method faithfully implements the name mangling rule as specified in the JAXB spec. This method works like mangleNameToClassName(String) except that it looks for "getClass" and returns something else.

Returns:
Typically, this method returns "NameLikeThis".

getBaseType

@Nullable
public static java.lang.reflect.Type getBaseType(@NotNull
                                                          java.lang.reflect.Type type,
                                                          @NotNull
                                                          java.lang.Class baseType)
Gets the parameterization of the given base type.

For example, given the following


 interface Foo<T> extends List<List<T>> {}
 interface Bar extends Foo<String> {}
 
This method works like this:

 getBaseClass( Bar, List ) = List<List<String>
 getBaseClass( Bar, Foo  ) = Foo<String>
 getBaseClass( Foo<? extends Number>, Collection ) = Collection<List<? extends Number>>
 getBaseClass( ArrayList<? extends BigInteger>, List ) = List<? extends BigInteger>
 

Parameters:
type - The type that derives from baseType
baseType - The class whose parameterization we are interested in.
Returns:
The use of baseType in type. or null if the type is not assignable to the base type.
