In the application I am developing, we decided we wanted to add
validation logic to the classes generated by JAXB when using WSDL to
Java data binding. However, we decided to keep the validation logic in
a sub-class of the JAXB generated object. So for example, this is the
JAXB generated class:
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "Email", propOrder = {
"value"
})
public class EmailBase {
@XmlValue
protected String value;
//Removed getters and setters
}
And this is the subclass:
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "Email", propOrder = {
"value"
})
public class Email extends EmailBase implements DataObjectBase
{
public boolean validate()
{
//validation logic
}
}
Now, when our Web Service receives a Request message with the Email
parameter, we'd like CXF/JAXB to unmarshall the parameter to a subclass
object, rather than the base class. Is there a way to configure CXF or
JAXB to do so?
