Tutorial Example Code

Tutorial Example Code

This area has the full code for the examples shown in the binding tutorial. The subdirectories correspond to the sequence of tutorial diagrams. The source code has been modified from the diagrams shown in the tutorial to use a separate package for each example, but should otherwise match what you see in the diagrams. Here's the list of code examples:

• A basic binding
• Attributes, optional access, and more
• Unordered elements
• Structure mapping - flattened binding
• Structure mapping - split binding
• Structure mapping - ignored components
• Basic collection handling
• Heterogeneous collection, with factory
• Collections with mappings
• Working with IDs
• Normal multiple mapping
• Normal multiple mapping
• Simple abstract mapping
• Named abstract mappings
• Abstract and extension mappings
• Extending a concrete mapping
• Namespaces
• User extension method hooks
• Custom value serialization
• Custom marshallers and unmarshallers
  Note that the test for this example may not operate properly on all JVMs because the order in which values are retrieved from a hashmap iterator is not consistent across JVMs. This is only a problem with the test, though, which looks for an exact round-tripping of the input document (including the order of child elements). If the test fails with an error message like "Different attributes - from line ... to line ..." it means that this issue occurs with the JVM you're using.
• Controlling JiBX with front-end code

The Ant build.xml file in this directory gives targets for compiling and running each example. Most don't supply any interesting output (unless there's an error), but if you want to experiment with code based on a particular example (or try out variations of the sample XML documents) the build.xml should at least get you started.
