Schema-Derived JAXB Classes

The sections that follow briefly explain the functions of the following individual classes generated by the JAXB binding compiler for the Basic examples:

• Comment Class

• Items Class

• ObjectFactory Class

• PurchaseOrder Class

• PurchaseOrderType Class

• USAddress Class

Comment Class

In Comment.java:

• The Comment class is part of the primer.po package.

• Comment is a public interface that extends javax.xml.bind.Element.

• Content in instantiations of this class binds to the XML schema element named comment.

• The getValue() and setValue() methods are used to get and set strings representing XML comment elements in the Java content tree.

Items Class

In Items.java:

• The Items class is part of the primer.po package.

• The class provides public interfaces for Items and ItemType.

• Content in instantiations of this class binds to the XML ComplexTypes Items and its child element ItemType.

• Item provides the getItem() method.

• ItemType provides methods for:

  • getPartNum();

  • setPartNum(String value);

  • getComment();

  • setComment(java.lang.String value);

  • getUSPrice();

  • setUSPrice(java.math.BigDecimal value);

  • getProductName();

  • setProductName(String value);

  • getShipDate();

  • setShipDate(java.util.Calendar value);

  • getQuantity();

  • setQuantity(java.math.BigInteger value);

ObjectFactory Class

In ObjectFactory.java:

• The ObjectFactory class is part of the primer.po package.

• ObjectFactory provides factory methods for instantiating Java interfaces representing XML content in the Java content tree.

• Method names are generated by concatenating:

  • The string constant create.

  • If the Java content interface is nested within another interface, then the concatenation of all outer Java class names.

  • The name of the Java content interface.

    For example, in this case, for the Java interface primer.po.Items.ItemType, ObjectFactory creates the method createItemsItemType().

PurchaseOrder Class

In PurchaseOrder.java:

• The PurchaseOrder class is part of the primer.po package.

• PurchaseOrder is a public interface that extends javax.xml.bind.Element and primer.po.PurchaseOrderType.

• Content in instantiations of this class binds to the XML schema element named purchaseOrder.

PurchaseOrderType Class

In PurchaseOrderType.java:

• The PurchaseOrderType class is part of the primer.po package.

• Content in instantiations of this class binds to the XML schema child element named PurchaseOrderType.

• PurchaseOrderType is a public interface that provides the following methods:

  • getItems();

  • setItems(primer.po.Items value);

  • getOrderDate();

  • setOrderDate(java.util.Calendar value);

  • getComment();

  • setComment(java.lang.String value);

  • getBillTo();

  • setBillTo(primer.po.USAddress value);

  • getShipTo();

  • setShipTo(primer.po.USAddress value);

USAddress Class

In USAddress.java:

• The USAddress class is part of the primer.po package.

• Content in instantiations of this class binds to the XML schema element named USAddress.

• USAddress is a public interface that provides the following methods:

  • getState();

  • setState(String value);

  • getZip();

  • setZip(java.math.BigDecimal value);

  • getCountry();

  • setCountry(String value);

  • getCity();

  • setCity(String value);

  • getStreet();

  • setStreet(String value);

  • getName();

  • setName(String value);
