1. JAXB 2.0
(Very short lecture)
4-Jun-19

2. JAXB revisited JAXB is Java Architecture for XML Binding
JAXB is not part of the standard Java distribution, but is available from Sun as part of the Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP)
JAXP, unlike SAX and DOM:
Creates an XML-schema specific parser
Creates classes and methods with names that are meaningful in the context of the problem being solved
Does not require the programmer who is using the parser to know XML

3. Changes in JAXB 2.0
Along with numerous enhancements since the earlier version, there has been one major, incompatible change
JAXB no longer translates DTDs into Java classes; it translates only XML Schema Language into Java classes
XML Schema Language is also a W3C standard
Hence:
Everything in my previous JAXB talk is “deprecated”
XML Schema Language is somewhat more important than before

4. The End
