Hi Blaise,

If you want to use a different root element, you can wrap

OK, I Googled the JAXB API and experimented. I think you're saying that I need to do this:
public Object fromXML(final File file) throws Exception {
JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(MyGenericObject.class.getPackage().getName());
Unmarshaller u = jc.createUnmarshaller();
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = db.parse(file);
Element rootElem = doc.getDocumentElement();
JAXBElement<MyGenericObject> jaxbElem = u.unmarshal( rootElem, MyGenericObject.class);
return jaxbElem.getValue();
}
public String toXML(final MyGenericObject obj) throws Exception {
JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(MyGenericObject.class.getPackage().getName());
Marshaller m = jc.createMarshaller();
JAXBElement jaxbElem = new JAXBElement(
new QName("
http://www.foo.com/bar/baz","RootNodeFoo"),
MyGenericObject.class, obj);
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
m.marshal(jaxbElem, writer );
return writer.toString();
}
Is that right? This seems a bit messy. It's not nearly as elegant as the generic marshalling and unmarshalling code that I'm able to use with EclipseLink. :( Is this what you recommend?
Thanks,
