JavaTM Architecture for XML Binding
Sample Applications

Specification Version: 0.75
Reference Implementation (RI) Version: Beta

Building and Running the Sample Apps With Ant

In order to run the sample applications using the supplied Ant build.xml files, simply follow these steps after you've installed the JAXB Reference Implementation:
For Solaris/Linux:
  1. % export JAVA_HOME=<your J2SE installation directory>
  2. % export JAXB_HOME=<your JAXB installation directory>
  3. % export ANT_HOME=$JAXB_HOME
  4. % export PATH=$JAXB_HOME/bin:$PATH
  5. % cd $JAXB_HOME/examples/users-guide/SampleApp1
  6. % ant -emacs
  7. repeat for each sample app
For WindowsNT/2000/XP:
  1. > set JAVA_HOME="<your J2SE installation directory>"
  2. > set JAXB_HOME="<your JAXB installation directory>"
  3. > set ANT_HOME=%JAXB_HOME%
  4. > set PATH=%JAXB_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
  5. > cd %JAXB_HOME%\examples\users-guide\SampleApp1
  6. > ant -emacs
  7. repeat for each sample app

Building and Running the Sample Apps Manually

It is also possible to build each of the sample apps manually rather than use the supplied Ant build.xml files. For example, to build and run examples/users-guide/SampleApp1, follow these steps:
For Solaris/Linux:
Note: the specific details for each sample app may differ
  1. % export JAVA_HOME=<your J2SE installation directory>
  2. % export JAXB_HOME=<your JAXB installation directory>
  3. % export JAXB_LIBS=$JAXB_HOME/lib
  4. % cd $JAXB_HOME/examples/users-guide/SampleApp1
  5. % $JAXB_HOME/bin/xjc.sh po.xsd -p primer.po
  6. % export CLASSPATH=$JAXB_LIBS/jaxb-api.jar:$JAXB_LIBS/jaxb-ri.jar:$JAXB_LIBS/jaxb-xjc.jar: $JAXB_LIBS/jaxb-libs.jar:$JAXB_LIBS/jaxp-api.jar:$JAXB_LIBS/xercesImpl.jar: $JAXB_LIBS/sax.jar:$JAXB_LIBS/dom.jar:$JAXB_LIBS/jax-qname.jar:.
    Be sure to enter the above command on a single line.
  7. % javac Main.java primer/po/*.java primer/po/impl/*.java
  8. % java Main
For WindowsNT/2000/XP:
Note: the specific details for each sample app may differ
  1. > set JAVA_HOME="<your J2SE installation directory>
  2. > set JAXB_HOME="<your JAXB installation directory>
  3. > set JAXB_LIBS=%JAXB_HOME%\lib
  4. > cd %JAXB_HOME%\examples\users-guide\SampleApp1
  5. > $JAXB_HOME/bin/xjc.sh po.xsd -p primer.po
  6. > set CLASSPATH="%JAXB_LIBS%/jaxb-api.jar;%JAXB_LIBS%/jaxb-ri.jar;%JAXB_LIBS%/jaxb-xjc.jar; %JAXB_LIBS%/jaxb-libs.jar;%JAXB_LIBS%/jaxb-api.jar;%JAXB_LIBS%/xercesImpl.jar; %JAXB_LIBS%/sax.jar;%JAXB_LIBS%/dom.jar;%JAXB_LIBS%/jax-qname.jar;.
    Be sure to enter the above command on a single line.
  7. > javac Main.java primer\po\*.java primer\po\impl\*.java
  8. > java Main
  9. repeat for each sample app

List of Sample Apps

examples/users-guide/SampleApp1
This sample application demonstrates how to unmarshal an instance document into a Java content tree and access data contained within it.
 
examples/users-guide/SampleApp2
This sample application demonstrates how to modify a java content tree and marshal it back to a xml data.
 
examples/users-guide/SampleApp3
This sample application demonstrates how to use the ObjectFactory class to create a java content tree from scratch and marshal it to XML data
 
examples/users-guide/SampleApp4
This sample application demonstrates how to enable validation during the unmarshal operations.
 
examples/users-guide/SampleApp5
This sample application demonstrates how to validate a Java content tree at runtime.
 
examples/users-guide/SampleApp6
This sample application demonstrates how to customize the default binding produced by xjc.
 
examples/xml-stylesheet
This example demonstrates how the behavior of the marshalling process can be customized. In this example, an <?xml-stylesheet ... ?> processing instruction is inserted into the marshalled document.
 
examples/partial-unmarshalling
In this example, the input document will be unmarshalled a small chunk at a time, instead of unmarshalling the whole document at once.
