Is it possible to generate a XSD from a JAXB-annotated class?
Yes, you can use the generateSchema
method on JAXBContext:
JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(Customer.class);
SchemaOutputResolver sor = new MySchemaOutputResolver();
jaxbContext.generateSchema(sor);
You leverage an implementation of SchemaOutputResolver
to control where the output goes:
public class MySchemaOutputResolver extends SchemaOutputResolver {
public Result createOutput(String namespaceURI, String suggestedFileName) throws IOException {
File file = new File(suggestedFileName);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(file);
result.setSystemId(file.toURI().toURL().toString());
return result;
}
}
