Global and Schema Binding Declarations

The global schema binding declarations in bindings.xjb are the same as those in po.xsd for the Datatype Converter example. The only difference is that because the declarations in po.xsd are made inline, you need to embed them in <xs:appinfo> elements, which are in turn embedded in <xs:annotation> elements. Embedding declarations in this way is unnecessary in the external bindings file.

<jxb:globalBindings
  fixedAttributeAsConstantProperty="true"
  collectionType="java.util.Vector"
  typesafeEnumBase="xs:NCName"
  choiceContentProperty="false"
  typesafeEnumMemberName="generateError"
  bindingStyle="elementBinding"
  enableFailFastCheck="false"
  generateIsSetMethod="false"
  underscoreBinding="asCharInWord"/>
<jxb:schemaBindings>
  <jxb:package name="primer.myPo">
    <jxb:javadoc>
      <![CDATA[<body>Package level documentation for generated package primer.myPo.</body>]]>
    </jxb:javadoc>
  </jxb:package>
  <jxb:nameXmlTransform>
    <jxb:elementName suffix="Element"/>
  </jxb:nameXmlTransform>
</jxb:schemaBindings>

By comparison, the syntax used in po.xsd for the Datatype Converter example is:

<xsd:annotation>
  <xsd:appinfo>
    <jxb:globalBindings
        ...
        binding-declarations
        ...
    <jxb:schemaBindings>
        ...
        binding-declarations
        ...
    </jxb:schemaBindings>
  </xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>
