Project overview
This project will add the ability for EclipseLink OX to unmarshal XML documents that have simple types as their root element. Instead of a "rich" top-level element representing a domain object (e.g. Employee
, PurchaseOrder
), the root element may be a simple primitive value.
For example, the JAXB TCK uses the following types of test documents:
XML Schema:
<schema ...> ... <element name="NISTSchema-base64Binary-enumeration" type="nist:NISTSchema-base64Binary-enumeration-Type"/> <simpleType name="NISTSchema-base64Binary-enumeration-Type"> <restriction base="base64Binary"> <enumeration value="bHlsY2JmaXFjaW9ubmg="/> </restriction> </simpleType> </schema>
XML Instance Document:
<NISTSchema-base64Binary-enumeration xmlns="NISTSchema-base64Binary-enumeration-NS" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="NISTSchema-base64Binary-enumeration-NS enumeration.xsd">zGk=</NISTSchema-base64Binary-enumeration>
Goals:
- Allow the user to unmarshal XML documents that contain simple type root elements.
