XML + XSD => Java?

Question

I need to make the above equation comes true!

I have an XML file with its XSD schema, and I need to get the Java classes with the required code to parse the XML file and construct java objects..

I am asking here about a standard (or defacto like apache) utility to make the above request comes ture....

Is JAXB can make this happens?

Thanks.

Sounds like you want JAX-B, the Java XML-to-object binding API.

Does JAX-B do the required XML parsing staff to populate the objects?

Yes, it does. This is your cue to read some of the docs instead of being spoon-fed here. Start with this: jaxb.dev.java.net/tutorial/section_1_3-Hello-World.html#Hello World

+1 Also since JAXB is a standard there are multiple implementations check out EclipseLink JAXB (MOXy): eclipse.org/eclipselink/moxy.php and my blog: bdoughan.blogspot.com for even more examples.

You need a library to compile the xsd into Java types. JAXB and XMLBeans are two such libraries.

With XMLBeans you can run a simple command to generate the Java types:

scomp -out types.jar myschema.xsd

The JAXB command line is also simple: xjc -d out myschema.xsd
