Comments on: Marshalling XML with Spring WS and JAXB http://thoughtforge.net/2010/02/04/marshalling-xml-with-spring-ws-and-jaxb/ Thu, 05 Aug 2010 12:29:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Alec http://thoughtforge.net/2010/02/04/marshalling-xml-with-spring-ws-and-jaxb/comment-page-1/#comment-51 Alec Fri, 23 Apr 2010 18:03:56 +0000 http://thoughtforge.net/?p=610#comment-51 Right now I have an XSD that defines a contract. I do not use annotations in my existing classes, but I am using annotated endpoints (@Endpoint, etc.) The schema objects are generated, and I map them via a utility class to my domain objects. everything works fine. However, some mappings get tedious and seems redundant when the generated objects are all but identical to the original domain objects I already have. I wonder if there is a best practice for handling these situations, and/or an easy way to let JAXB know that some elements must be bound to existing Java classes instead of the schema-generated ones?

I think you will have to define all mappings in one or other. If you use introductions, the marshaller will ignore the JAXB annotations on 'existing classes'.

I wonder what the Spring-WS configuration should look like if I am using the marshaller tag and need to have some classes auto-generated while reusing a few existing classes, such as enums, etc?

I will do another post on demonstrating that in a few weeks (if that would help?). I'm a little tied up with coursework etc. at the moment. Hi Alex,

From what I see you've got JaxB marshalling/unmarshalling working, but it's not tied with Spring-WS. Thank you! Hi John,
