I'm confused to Günther, please bear with me. Well lets focus on marshalling right now. I'm starting from code, ie, jib2wsdl . I have a binding file it generates. My classes exist before I call any jibx tools. I've read all the docs about 10 times - but I'm a newbie so please bear with me. jibx has a binding file which is particular to jibx, and does marshalling without a schema. This is unlike xmlbeans / adb / jaxb etc - what I know well.
Say I have this binding file: <binding xmlns:tns="http://wazollc.com/alphatheory/hibernate/bo"; name="binding" package="com.wazollc.alphatheory.hibernate.bo" force-classes="true"> <namespace uri="http://wazollc.com/alphatheory/hibernate/bo"; default="elements" prefix="ns1"/> <namespace uri="http://wazollc.com/alphatheory/webservices/ATWSServer/ATWSServer"; prefix="ns2"/> <mapping abstract="true" type-name="tns:exchangePermissionBO" class="com.wazollc.alphatheory.hibernate.bo.ExchangePermissionBO"> <value style="attribute" name="id" get-method="getId" set-method="setId" usage="optional"/> <value style="attribute" name="version" get-method="getVersion" set-method="setVersion" usage="optional"/> <value style="element" name="name" get-method="getName" set-method="setName" usage="optional"/> <value style="element" name="code" get-method="getCode" set-method="setCode" usage="optional"/> </mapping> </binding> And lets say I retrieved com.wazollc.alphatheory.hibernate.bo.ExchangePermissionBO from a hibernate query. I now want to marshall this ExchangePermissionBO into xml. My best guess on how to do this is: com.wazollc.alphatheory.hibernate.bo.ExchangePermissionBO bo = getFromHibernate(); IBindingFactory ibf = org.jibx.runtime.BindingDirectory.getFactory("binding", "com.wazollc.alphatheory.hibernate.bo", EntityMarshaller.class.getClassLoader()); org.jibx.runtime.IMarshallable mctx = (org.jibx.runtime.IMarshallable)bo; org.apache.axiom.om.OMDataSource result = new org.apache.axis2.jibx.JiBXDataSource(mctx, ibf); StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(); result.serialize(XMLOutputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamWriter(writer)); writer.flush(); System.out.println("Response: " + writer.toString()); Yet 'ExchangePermissionBO bo' doesn't implement IMarshallable. You say it doesn't need to. ok, so I'm approaching this wrong. What's the right way - or any way - to do this?
