JAXB Bindings for READING ORCID RECORD XML (2.0)

[Lyuben Atanasov]

Hi,

I want to use the XSD resources to generate POJOs for my java client, requesting the URL https://pub.sandbox.orcid.org/v2.0/0000-0000-0000-0000/record.

The problem is I get a lot of JAXB errors like this: "... is already in use. Use a class customization to resolve this conflict."

I wanted to ask is there any binding for record_2.0, or I should write it myself?

Please provide a link, if there is any.

Thanks and regards

Hi Lyuben,

We have the same element name in different namespaces (with different restrictions), but that confuses the JAXB compiler.

There is no binding yet for record_2.0 (we created our 2.0 classes by hand, based on the previous version of the classes).

I've attached a first attempt at a binding file, which puts classes in different namespaces into their own packages.

There are still some conflicts (which I will investigate, and hopefully clean up in the future). However, you can work around them for now, using -XautoNameResolution.

xjc -extension -d src/main/java -b src/main/resources/record_2.0/jaxb-binding-separate-packages.xjb -XautoNameResolution src/main/resources/record_2.0/record-2.0.xsd

Can you try with that binding file, or create your own?

We can maybe add the binding to the ORCID-Source repo, if it works for you. If not, you could fork the repo and submit your binding file as a pull request.

Best regards,

Will

In addition to:

xjc -extension -d src/main/java -b src/main/resources/record_2.0/jaxb-binding-separate-packages.xjb -XautoNameResolution src/main/resources/record_2.0/record-2.0.xsd

In order to get bulk individual research works (up to 50), you would consider API endpoint /works, for example:

https://api.sandbox.orcid.org/v2.0/[ORCID iD]/works/230776,230777,230777

And to unmarshal bulk ORCID works, you would need another JAXB class called Bulk.java, which you could generate by using:

xjc -extension -d src/main/java -XautoNameResolution src/main/resources/record_2.0/bulk-2.0.xsd

Not sure this is the right way. However it works fine for me :-)

Cheers,

Yuci
