JAXB is the Java Architecture for XML Binding - it's a standard Java technology for generating Java classes from XML schemas by means of a JAXB binding compiler. The JAXB binding compiler takes XML schemas as input, and then generates a package of Java classes and interfaces that reflect the rules defined in the source schema. These generated classes and interfaces are in turn compiled and combined with a set of common JAXB utility packages to provide a JAXB binding framework.

The JAXB binding framework provides methods for unmarshalling XML instance documents into Java content trees - a hierarchy of Java data objects that represent the source XML data - and for marshalling Java content trees back into XML instance documents. The JAXB binding framework also provides methods for validating XML content as it is unmarshalled and marshalled.

This JAXB Tutorial covers how to use Stylus Studio's JAXB Tools to generate Java class files from any XML schema. The new JAXB tools are fully integrated with the Stylus Studio XML Schema Editor, providing a powerful, Java standards-based way to design XML data models and them to automatically generate their corresponding Java representations, making it easy for Java developers to create Java and XML data processing applications. This JAXB tutorial covers the following topics:

• Generating Java-XML Bindings
• Specifying JAXB Properties
• Adding JAXB Java Files to Your Project
• Compiling and running your JAXB-enabled Java application
