Customizing JAXB Bindings

Schema-to-Java

Custom JAXB binding declarations also allow you to customize your generated JAXB classes beyond the XML-specific constraints in an XML schema to include Java-specific refinements such as class and package name mappings.

JAXB provides two ways to customize an XML schema:

As inline annotations in a source XML schema
As declarations in an external binding customizations file that is passed to the JAXB binding compiler

Code examples showing how to customize JAXB bindings are provided in Chapter 3.

Java-to-Schema

XML schema that is generated from Java objects can be customized with JAXB annotations.
