      Returns:

    • getTypeIndex

      int getTypeIndex(String type)
      Get mapped class index from type name for abstract non-base mappings included in the binding. This is intended to allow identifying and using abstract mappings (basically type mappings) at runtime. The method only returns a non-negative result if the "force-classes" option is used for the binding definition (since otherwise no marshaller/unmarshaller classes are created for abstract non-base mappings).
      Parameters:
      type - fully-qualified class or type name
      Returns:
      mapping index for type, or -1 if type is not an abstract non-base mapping
    • getBindingClasses

      String[] getBindingClasses() throws JiBXException
      Get the classes used by the binding. Every class which includes code generated by the binding compiler for this binding or any precompiled base binding is included in the returned array. If verifyBaseBindings() has not already been invoked it will be invoked by this call.
      Returns:
      fully-qualified class names
      Throws:
      JiBXException - on base binding verification error
    • getAbstractMappings

      String[][] getAbstractMappings()
      Get the linkage information for global abstract mappings included in the binding. The returned array has a primary (first index) dimension of 11 and a secondary (second index) dimension equal to the number of global abstract mappings. The different index values for the first index give the following information:
      • 0 - mapping name (type or class)
      • 1 - class name
      • 2 - new instance creation method (null if none)
      • 3 - unmarshalling complete method (null if none)
      • 4 - prepare for marshalling method (null if none)
      • 5 - attribute presence test method (null if none)
      • 6 - attribute unmarshaller method (null if none)
      • 7 - attribute marshaller method (null if none)
      • 8 - content presence test method (null if none)
      • 9 - content unmarshaller method (null if none)
      • 10 - content marshaller method (null if none)
      The method specifications are in the form of fully qualified class names and method signatures. The methods are only intended for use by the binding compiler when working with a precompiled binding.
      Returns:
      method information array
    • getAbstractMappingNamespaces

      int[] getAbstractMappingNamespaces(int index)
      Get the indexes of the namespaces used by an abstract mapping.

      index - abstract mapping index, corresponding to the abstract mapping information returned by getAbstractMappings().
      Returns:
      namespace indexes, empty array if none
    • getUnmarshalMap

      Map getUnmarshalMap()
      Get the mapping from element local name to class indexes. If a local name is only used with a single namespace, the value for that name is an Integer giving the index of the class mapped to the name; if the local name is used with multiple namespaces, the value for that name is an array with multiple int class indexes, for every class mapped to the name.
      Returns:
      map from local name to class index array
    • getUnmarshallerClass

      Class getUnmarshallerClass(int index)

      unmarshaller class, or null if unable to load class
    • getMarshallerClass

      Class getMarshallerClass(int index)
      Get the marshaller class for a mapping. This can only be used for global mappings.
      Parameters:

    • getNamespaceTranslationTableMap

      Map getNamespaceTranslationTableMap()
      Get a map from full-qualified binding factory names to an array of int values used to convert namespace indexes in that binding to this binding. If the binding uses the same namespaces as this binding (or a subset of the same namespaces, with the same index values) there is no entry in the map.
      Returns:
      map to namespace index translation
    • loadClass

      Class loadClass(String name)
      Load a class. This first tries to load the specified class using the classloader that loaded the binding factory instance, then tries the thread context classloader, then finally tries the classloader used to load core runtime classes.
      Parameters:
      name - fully qualified class name
      Returns:
      loaded class, or null if class not found
