JarCastingJAXRO
JAXB is very powerful, but does work easily with legacy application. This is a solution that allows enterprise users to add JAXB type annotations to existing applications and externalize them using XML and JSON.
This solution is in production at a very, very large retailer, processing millions of requests daily, and has been performing very well since 2009.
Introduction
JAXRO is yet another solution for providing Java Bindings for JAX. The idea of this particular implementation is to create Java bindings for existing applications with a minimal amount of effort. JAXRO creates and XSD and adapter classes for existing classes and interfaces as long as they follow the bean pattern.
Usage
Download the latest version of the jaxro-core and jaxro-apt jars (or link to our Maven repository). Add it to your CLASSPATH. Add a @RoRootElement annotation to the class you would like to externalize and run javac.
Compiler Options
The following compiler switches can be used to customize the behaviour of JAXRO:
| Switch | Description |
| -Adense=flag | Controls the auto-discovery feature of JAXRO. If set to true adapters will be generated for all classes that can be discovered directly or indirectly from any @RoRootElement, otherwise adapters will only be generated for classes annotated with @RoRootElement or @RoType. |
| -Aadapters=directory | The target directory for generating adapter classes. By default the classes are generated into the genrated-source directory used by javac. |
| -Aschema=file | The file name of the generated schema. |
| -Ajaxroproc=proc | Controls the execution of this component. Possible values are "none" (no generation is executed), "schemaOnly" (only the schema is generated), "adaptersOnly" (only adapters are generated), or "complete" (this is the default; schema and adapters are generated) |
| -Ajaxrodisabled={true|false} | If set to true no processing will be performed (same as -Ajaxroproc=none) |
Maven
This component is available in Maven Central. Simply add the following lines of configuration to our pom.xml:
