findTypes

protected static <T> Class<?>[] findTypes(Collection<T> c)

Discovers all the classes in the given Collection. These need to be in the JAXBContext if you want to marshal those objects. Unfortunatly there's no way of getting the generic type at runtime.

Parameters:

c - Collection that needs to be scanned

Returns:

Classes found in the collection, including JAXBCollection.

createCollectionElement

protected static <T> JAXBElement<?> createCollectionElement(String rootName,
                                                            Collection<T> c)

Create a JAXBElement containing a JAXBCollection. Needed for marshalling a generic collection without a separate wrapper class.

Parameters:

rootName - Name of the XML root element

c -

Returns:

JAXBElement containing the given Collection, wrapped in a JAXBCollection.
