Create Marshal Example

The Create Marshal example illustrates Java-to-schema databinding. It demonstrates marshalling and unmarshalling of JAXB annotated classes and also shows how to enable JAXP 1.3 validation at unmarshal time using a schema file that was generated from the JAXB mapped classes.

The schema file, bc.xsd, was generated with the following commands:

schemagen src/cardfile/*.java
cp schema1.xsd bc.xsd

Note that schema1.xsd, was copied to bc.xsd; schemagen does not allow you to specify a schema name of your choice.
