To install JiBX, just download the distribution zip file and unpack it. This will create a jibx directory that contains the distribution files, including a complete copy of this documentation.
I installed it in C:\JIBX
Create a directory example23 in C:\jibx\tutorial\
Create a file Customer.java with following contents:
package example23;
public class Customer {
public Person person;
public String street;
public String city;
public String state;
public Integer zip;
public String phone;
}
Create a file Person.java with following contents:
package example23;
public class Person {
public int customerNumber;
public String firstName;
public String lastName;
}
Create a file binding.xml with following contents:
Go to C:\jibx\tutorial from cmd prompt and execute following command:
javac example23/*.java
Now execute
java -jar C:\jibx\lib\jibx-bind.jar example23\binding.xml
Now go to example23 directory and create CustomerManager.java wih contents
package example23;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import org.jibx.runtime.BindingDirectory;
import org.jibx.runtime.IBindingFactory;
import org.jibx.runtime.IMarshallingContext;
import org.jibx.runtime.IUnmarshallingContext;
import org.jibx.runtime.JiBXException;
public class CustomerManager {
public CustomerManager()
{
try {
IBindingFactory bfact = BindingDirectory.getFactory(Customer.class);
IUnmarshallingContext uctx = bfact.createUnmarshallingContext();
Object obj = uctx.unmarshalDocument
(new FileInputStream("C:/jibx/tutorial/example23/customer.xml"), null);
Customer customer = (Customer)obj;
System.out.print(customer.street+", "+customer.city);
IMarshallingContext mctx = bfact.createMarshallingContext();
mctx.setIndent(4);
mctx.marshalDocument(obj, "UTF-8", null,
new FileOutputStream("C:/jibx/tutorial/example23/customer2.xml"));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (JiBXException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new CustomerManager();
}
}
Create a customer.xml file with following contents:
Now execute CustomerManager.java and see JIBX in action :)
Thanks note to techBlog.
But the process was not clear so i wrote this blog with things crystal clear.
