Return the current event handler or the default event handler if one hasn't been set.

  Return the current event handler or the default event handler if one
hasn't been set.
Returns: the current ValidationEventHandler or the default event handler if it hasn't been set
Throws:
- JAXBException - if an error was encountered while getting the current event handler

  Gets the JAXB object associated with the given XML element.

  Gets the JAXB object associated with the given XML element.

Once a JAXB object tree is associated with an XML fragment, this method enables navigation between the two trees.

An association between an XML element and a JAXB object is established by the unmarshal, marshal and update methods. Note that this association is partial; not all XML elements have associated JAXB objects, and not all JAXB objects have associated XML elements.
Returns: null if the specified XML node is not known to this {@link Binder}, or if it is not associated with a JAXB object.
Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - If the node parameter is null

  Get the particular property in the underlying implementation of Binder.

  Get the particular property in the underlying implementation of
Binder. This method can only
be used to get one of
the standard JAXB defined unmarshal/marshal properties
or a provider specific property for binder, unmarshal or marshal.
Attempting to get an undefined property will result in
a PropertyException being thrown. See
Supported Unmarshal Properties
and
Supported Marshal Properties.
Returns: the value of the requested property
Parameters:
- name - the name of the property to retrieve
Throws:
- PropertyException - when there is an error retrieving the given property or value property name
- IllegalArgumentException - If the name parameter is null

  Gets the last Schema object (including null) set by the Binder.setSchema(Schema) method.

  Gets the last Schema object (including null) set by the
Binder.setSchema(Schema) method.
Returns: the Schema object for validation or null if not present

  Gets the XML element associated with the given JAXB object.

  Gets the XML element associated with the given JAXB object.

Once a JAXB object tree is associated with an XML fragment, this method enables navigation between the two trees.

An association between an XML element and a JAXB object is established by the bind methods and the update methods. Note that this association is partial; not all XML elements have associated JAXB objects, and not all JAXB objects have associated XML elements.
Returns: null if the specified JAXB object is not known to this {@link Binder}, or if it is not associated with an XML element.
Parameters:
- jaxbObject - An instance that is reachable from a prior call to a bind or update method that returned a JAXB object tree.
Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - If the jaxbObject parameter is null

  Marshal a JAXB object tree to a new XML document.

  Marshal a JAXB object tree to a new XML document.

This method is similar to Marshaller.marshal(Object, Node) with the addition of maintaining the association between JAXB objects and the produced XML nodes, enabling future update operations such as Binder.updateXML(Object, Object) or Binder.updateJAXB(Object).

When Binder.getSchema() is non-null, the marshalled xml content is validated during this operation.
Parameters:
- jaxbObject - The content tree to be marshalled.
- xmlNode - The parameter must be a Node that accepts children.
Throws:
- JAXBException - If any unexpected problem occurs during the marshalling.
- MarshalException - If the {@link ValidationEventHandler ValidationEventHandler} returns false from its handleEvent method or the Binder is unable to marshal jaxbObject (or any object reachable from jaxbObject).
- IllegalArgumentException - If any of the method parameters are null

  Allow an application to register a ValidationEventHandler.

  Allow an application to register a ValidationEventHandler.

The ValidationEventHandler will be called by the JAXB Provider if any validation errors are encountered during calls to any of the Binder unmarshal, marshal and update methods.

Calling this method with a null parameter will cause the Binder to revert back to the default default event handler.
Parameters:
- handler - the validation event handler
Throws:
- JAXBException - if an error was encountered while setting the event handler

  Set the particular property in the underlying implementation of Binder.

  Set the particular property in the underlying implementation of
Binder. This method can only be used to set one of
the standard JAXB defined unmarshal/marshal properties
or a provider specific property for binder, unmarshal or marshal.
Attempting to set an undefined property will result in
a PropertyException being thrown. See
Supported Unmarshal Properties
and
Supported Marshal Properties.
Parameters:
- name - the name of the property to be set. This value can either be specified using one of the constant fields or a user supplied string.
- value - the value of the property to be set
Throws:
- PropertyException - when there is an error processing the given property or value
- IllegalArgumentException - If the name parameter is null

  Specifies whether marshal, unmarshal and update methods performs validation on their XML content.

  Specifies whether marshal, unmarshal and update methods
performs validation on their XML content.
Parameters:
- schema - set to null to disable validation.
See Also: Unmarshaller.setSchema(Schema),

  Unmarshal XML infoset view to a JAXB object tree.

  Unmarshal XML infoset view to a JAXB object tree.

This method is similar to Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Node) with the addition of maintaining the association between XML nodes and the produced JAXB objects, enabling future update operations, Binder.updateXML(Object, Object) or Binder.updateJAXB(Object).

When Binder.getSchema() is non-null, xmlNode and its descendants is validated during this operation.

This method throws UnmarshalException when the Binder's JAXBContext does not have a mapping for the XML element name or the type, specifiable via @xsi:type, of xmlNode to a JAXB mapped class. The method Binder.unmarshal(Object, Class) enables an application to specify the JAXB mapped class that the xmlNode should be mapped to.
Returns: the newly created root object of the JAXB object tree.
Parameters:
- xmlNode - the document/element to unmarshal XML data from.
Throws:
- JAXBException - If any unexpected errors occur while unmarshalling
- UnmarshalException - If the {@link ValidationEventHandler ValidationEventHandler} returns false from its handleEvent method or the Binder is unable to perform the XML to Java binding.
- IllegalArgumentException - If the node parameter is null

  Unmarshal XML root element by provided declaredType to a JAXB object tree.

  Unmarshal XML root element by provided declaredType to a JAXB object tree.

Implements Unmarshal by Declared Type

This method is similar to Unmarshaller.unmarshal(Node, Class) with the addition of maintaining the association between XML nodes and the produced JAXB objects, enabling future update operations, Binder.updateXML(Object, Object) or Binder.updateJAXB(Object).

When Binder.getSchema() is non-null, xmlNode and its descendants is validated during this operation.
Returns: JAXB Element representation of node
Parameters:
- xmlNode - the document/element to unmarshal XML data from.
- declaredType - appropriate JAXB mapped class to hold node's XML data.
Throws:
- JAXBException - If any unexpected errors occur while unmarshalling
- UnmarshalException - If the {@link ValidationEventHandler ValidationEventHandler} returns false from its handleEvent method or the Binder is unable to perform the XML to Java binding.
- IllegalArgumentException - If any of the input parameters are null
Since: JAXB2.0

  Takes an XML node and updates its associated JAXB object and its descendants.

  Takes an XML node and updates its associated JAXB object and its descendants.

This operation can be thought of as an "in-place" unmarshalling. The difference is that instead of creating a whole new JAXB tree, this operation updates an existing tree, reusing as much JAXB objects as possible.

As a side-effect, this operation updates the association between XML nodes and JAXB objects.
Returns: Returns the updated JAXB object. Typically, this is the same object that was returned from earlier {@link #marshal(Object,Object)} or {@link #updateJAXB(Object)} method invocation, but it maybe a different object, for example when the name of the XML element has changed.
Throws:
- JAXBException - If any unexpected problem occurs updating corresponding JAXB mapped content.
- IllegalArgumentException - If node parameter is null

  Takes an JAXB object and updates its associated XML node and its descendants.

  Takes an JAXB object and updates its associated XML node and its descendants.

This is a convenience method of:

 updateXML( jaxbObject, getXMLNode(jaxbObject));
 

Throws:
- JAXBException - If any unexpected problem occurs updating corresponding XML content.
- IllegalArgumentException - If the jaxbObject parameter is null

  Changes in JAXB object tree are updated in its associated XML parse tree.

  Changes in JAXB object tree are updated in its associated XML parse tree.

This operation can be thought of as an "in-place" marshalling. The difference is that instead of creating a whole new XML tree, this operation updates an existing tree while trying to preserve the XML as much as possible.

For example, unknown elements/attributes in XML that were not bound to JAXB will be left untouched (whereas a marshalling operation would create a new tree that doesn't contain any of those.)

As a side-effect, this operation updates the association between XML nodes and JAXB objects.
Returns: Returns the updated XML node. Typically, this is the same node you passed in as xmlNode, but it maybe a different object, for example when the tag name of the object has changed.
Parameters:
- jaxbObject - root of potentially modified JAXB object tree
- xmlNode - root of update target XML parse tree
Throws:
- JAXBException - If any unexpected problem occurs updating corresponding XML content.
- IllegalArgumentException - If any of the input parameters are null
