Class Declarations

The class-level binding declarations in bindings.xjb differ from the analogous declarations in po.xsd for the Datatype Converter example in two ways:

• As with all other binding declarations in bindings.xjb, you do not need to embed your customizations in schema <xsd:appinfo> elements.

• You must specify the schema node to which the customization will be applied. The general syntax for this type of declaration is:

  <jxb:bindings node="//node-type[@name=’node-name’]">

For example, the following code shows binding declarations for the complexType named USAddress.

<jxb:bindings node="//xs:complexType[@name=’USAddress’]">
  <jxb:class>
    <jxb:javadoc>
      <![CDATA[First line of documentation for a <b>USAddress</b>.]]>
    </jxb:javadoc>
  </jxb:class>

  <jxb:bindings node=".//xs:element[@name=’name’]">
    <jxb:property name="toName"/>
  </jxb:bindings>

  <jxb:bindings node=".//xs:element[@name=’zip’]">
    <jxb:property name="zipCode"/>
  </jxb:bindings>
</jxb:bindings>
<!-- node="//xs:complexType[@name=’USAddress’]" -->

Note in this example that USAddress is the parent of the child elements name and zip, and therefore a </jxb:bindings> tag encloses the bindings declarations for the child elements as well as the class-level javadoc declaration.
