External Customize Example

The External Customize example is identical to the Datatype Converter example, except that the binding declarations in the External Customize example are made by means of an external binding declarations file rather than inline in the source XML schema.

The binding customization file used in the External Customize example is tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/jaxb/external-customize/binding.xjb.

This section compares the customization declarations in bindings.xjb with the analogous declarations used in the XML schema, po.xsd, in the Datatype Converter example. The two sets of declarations achieve precisely the same results.
