## Class Jaxb2Marshaller

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Aware, BeanClassLoaderAware, InitializingBean, ResourceLoaderAware, GenericMarshaller, GenericUnmarshaller, Marshaller, MimeMarshaller, MimeUnmarshaller, Unmarshaller

      public class Jaxb2Marshaller
      extends Object
      implements MimeMarshaller, MimeUnmarshaller, GenericMarshaller, GenericUnmarshaller, BeanClassLoaderAware, ResourceLoaderAware, InitializingBean

  Implementation of the `Marshaller` interface for JAXB 2.0.

  The typical usage will be to set either the "contextPath" or the "classesToBeBound" property on this bean, possibly customize the marshaller and unmarshaller by setting properties, schemas, adapters, and listeners, and to refer to it.

  Since:
    3.0

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setContextPaths

          public void setContextPaths(String... contextPaths)

      Set multiple JAXB context paths. The given array of context paths is converted to a colon-delimited string, as supported by JAXB.

    - #### setContextPath

          public void setContextPath(String contextPath)

      Set a JAXB context path.

      Setting this property, `"classesToBeBound"`, or `"packagesToScan"` is required.

    - #### getContextPath

          public String getContextPath()

      Return the JAXB context path.

    - #### setClassesToBeBound

          public void setClassesToBeBound(Class<?>... classesToBeBound)

      Set the list of Java classes to be recognized by a newly created JAXBContext.

      Setting this property, `"contextPath"`, or `"packagesToScan"` is required.

      Set the packages to search using Spring-based scanning for classes with JAXB2 annotations in the classpath.

      Setting this property, `"contextPath"`, or `"classesToBeBound"` is required. This is analogous to Spring's component-scan feature (`ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner`).

    - #### getPackagesToScan

          public String[] getPackagesToScan()

      Return the packages to search for JAXB2 annotations.

    - #### setJaxbContextProperties

          public void setJaxbContextProperties(Map<String,?> jaxbContextProperties)

      Set the `JAXBContext` properties. These implementation-specific properties will be set on the underlying `JAXBContext`.

    - #### setMarshallerProperties

          public void setMarshallerProperties(Map<String,?> properties)

      Set the JAXB `Marshaller` properties. These properties will be set on the underlying JAXB `Marshaller`, and allow for features such as indentation.
      Parameters:
        `properties` - the properties
      See Also:
        `Marshaller.setProperty(String, Object)`, `Marshaller.JAXB_ENCODING`, `Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT`, `Marshaller.JAXB_NO_NAMESPACE_SCHEMA_LOCATION`, `Marshaller.JAXB_SCHEMA_LOCATION`

    - #### setUnmarshallerProperties

          public void setUnmarshallerProperties(Map<String,?> properties)

      Set the JAXB `Unmarshaller` properties. These properties will be set on the underlying JAXB `Unmarshaller`.
      Parameters:
        `properties` - the properties
      See Also:
        `Unmarshaller.setProperty(String, Object)`

    - #### setMarshallerListener

          public void setMarshallerListener(Marshaller.Listener marshallerListener)

      Specify the `Marshaller.Listener` to be registered with the JAXB `Marshaller`.

    - #### setUnmarshallerListener

          public void setUnmarshallerListener(Unmarshaller.Listener unmarshallerListener)

      Set the `Unmarshaller.Listener` to be registered with the JAXB `Unmarshaller`.

    - #### setValidationEventHandler

          public void setValidationEventHandler(ValidationEventHandler validationEventHandler)

      Set the JAXB validation event handler. This event handler will be called by JAXB if any validation errors are encountered during calls to any of the marshal APIs.

    - #### setAdapters

          public void setAdapters(XmlAdapter<?,?>[] adapters)

      Specify the `XmlAdapter`s to be registered with the JAXB `Marshaller` and `Unmarshaller`

    - #### setSchema

          public void setSchema(Resource schemaResource)

      Set the schema resource to use for validation.

    - #### setSchemas

          public void setSchemas(Resource[] schemaResources)

      Set the schema resources to use for validation.

    - #### setSchemaLanguage

          public void setSchemaLanguage(String schemaLanguage)

      Set the schema language. Default is the W3C XML Schema: `http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"`.
      See Also:
        `XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI`, `XMLConstants.RELAXNG_NS_URI`

    - #### setSchemaResourceResolver

          public void setSchemaResourceResolver(LSResourceResolver schemaResourceResolver)

      Set the resource resolver, as used to load the schema resources.
      See Also:
        `SchemaFactory.setResourceResolver(org.w3c.dom.ls.LSResourceResolver)`, `setSchema(Resource)`, `setSchemas(Resource[])`

    - #### setMtomEnabled

          public void setMtomEnabled(boolean mtomEnabled)

      Specify whether MTOM support should be enabled or not. Default is `false`: marshalling using XOP/MTOM not being enabled.

    - #### setLazyInit

          public void setLazyInit(boolean lazyInit)

      Set whether to lazily initialize the `JAXBContext` for this marshaller. Default is `false` to initialize on startup; can be switched to `true`.

      Early initialization just applies if `afterPropertiesSet()` is called.

    - #### setSupportJaxbElementClass

          public void setSupportJaxbElementClass(boolean supportJaxbElementClass)

      Specify whether the `supports(Class)` returns `true` for the `JAXBElement` class.

      Default is `false`, meaning that `supports(Class)` always returns `false` for `JAXBElement` classes (though `supports(Type)` can return `true`, since it can obtain the type parameters of `JAXBElement`).

      This property is typically enabled in combination with usage of classes like `MarshallingView`, since the `ModelAndView` does not offer type parameter information at runtime.

      See Also:
        `supports(Class)`, `supports(Type)`

    - #### setCheckForXmlRootElement

          public void setCheckForXmlRootElement(boolean checkForXmlRootElement)

      Specify whether the `supports(Class)` should check for `@XmlRootElement` annotations.

      Default is `true`, meaning that `supports(Class)` will check for this annotation. However, some JAXB implementations (i.e. EclipseLink MOXy) allow for defining the bindings in an external definition file, thus keeping the classes annotations free. Setting this property to `false` supports these JAXB implementations.

      See Also:
        `supports(Class)`, `supports(Type)`

    - #### setBeanClassLoader

          public void setBeanClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)

      Description copied from interface: `BeanClassLoaderAware`
      Callback that supplies the bean `class loader` to a bean instance.

      Invoked after the population of normal bean properties but before an initialization callback such as `InitializingBean's` `InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet()` method or a custom init-method.

      Specified by:
        `setBeanClassLoader` in interface `BeanClassLoaderAware`
      Parameters:
        `classLoader` - the owning class loader; may be `null` in which case a default `ClassLoader` must be used, for example the `ClassLoader` obtained via `ClassUtils.getDefaultClassLoader()`

    - #### setResourceLoader

          public void setResourceLoader(ResourceLoader resourceLoader)

      Description copied from interface: `ResourceLoaderAware`
      Set the ResourceLoader that this object runs in.

      This might be a ResourcePatternResolver, which can be checked through `instanceof ResourcePatternResolver`. See also the `ResourcePatternUtils.getResourcePatternResolver` method.

      Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback like InitializingBean's `afterPropertiesSet` or a custom init-method. Invoked before ApplicationContextAware's `setApplicationContext`.

      Specified by:
        `setResourceLoader` in interface `ResourceLoaderAware`
      Parameters:
        `resourceLoader` - ResourceLoader object to be used by this object
      See Also:
        `ResourcePatternResolver`, `ResourcePatternUtils.getResourcePatternResolver(org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader)`

    - #### afterPropertiesSet

          public final void afterPropertiesSet()
                                        throws Exception

      Description copied from interface: `InitializingBean`
      Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

      This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

      Specified by:
        `afterPropertiesSet` in interface `InitializingBean`
      Throws:
        `Exception` - in the event of misconfiguration (such as failure to set an essential property) or if initialization fails.
