Using XmlJavaTypeAdapter

[Aravin]

Fady,

Is there a way to add  XmlJavaTypeAdapter to specific fields of the generated Java classes?

I am trying to trim spaces in all String fields. The incoming message contains spaces to match the width specified in the copybook, but functionally I dont need the spaces. The cross functional way to achieve this is using XmlAdapters.

How to include XmlJavaTypeAdapter in the generated Java class?

Thanks,

Aravin

Hello Aravin,

There is code in legstar that right-trims strings. You can check here, circa line 322: https://code.google.com/p/legstar/source/browse/trunk/legstar-core/legstar-coxbrt/src/main/java/com/legstar/coxb/convert/simple/CobolStringSimpleConverter.java

Otherwise, I believe you should be able to use standard JAXB customization (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17802_01/webservices/webservices/docs/1.5/tutorial/doc/JAXBUsing4.html#wp148613) by editing the XSD.

Fady,

I am using coxbgen to generate the XSD from CPY. jaxbgen task creates the Java classes from the XSD.

I cant manually edit the XSD files. Is there a way that I can specify a bindings file to the jaxbgen task? I know it uses the XJC task internally which accepts a binding file, but the jaxbgen doesnt seem to accept it.

Thanks,

Aravin

coxbgen does not generate the xsd. cob2xsd does.

the steps should be: copybook -> cob2xsd -> xsd -> add your xjc customization -> cob2xsd -> customized jaxb classes & binding classes.
