JAXB Deployer
anil.saldhana Mar 18, 2009 11:14 AMI have an independent JAXB model for configuration from a separate project called as JBossXACML (which does not have any dependencies on JBossXB).
As part of https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6607, I tried using the SchemaResolvingDeployer but it was unable to locate the schema. Additionally, registering with JBossXB is a noop because my metadata does not have the @JBossxml annotation.
Given this, I looked at the JAXBDeployer http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/jboss-deployers/tags/2.0.5.GA/deployers-vfs-spi/src/main/java/org/jboss/deployers/vfs/spi/deployer/JAXBDeployer.java in deployers which is an abstract class. The issue with this is that if the JAXB metadata has a root of JAXBElement from the following schema:
http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/security/security-xacml/trunk/jboss-xacml/src/main/resources/schema/jbossxacml-2.0.xsd
then the JAXBDeployer create method falls apart because it tries to instantiate JAXBElement.
Issue with JAXBDeployer:
"context" and "properties" need to made protected.
My JAXBElementParsingDeployer looks as follows:
package org.jboss.security.deployers; import java.io.InputStream; import java.util.Map; import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext; import javax.xml.bind.Unmarshaller; import org.jboss.deployers.vfs.spi.deployer.JAXBDeployer; import org.jboss.deployers.vfs.spi.structure.VFSDeploymentUnit; import org.jboss.virtual.VirtualFile; import org.xml.sax.InputSource; /** * A parsing deployer that is capable of parsing * a JAXB model with the root element being * JAXBElement<T> */ @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public class JAXBElementParsingDeployer<T,V> extends JAXBDeployer { /** The JAXBContext */ protected JAXBContext context; /** The properties */ protected Map<String, Object> properties; protected Class<V> enclosed; /** * CTR * @param output JAXBElement.class * @param enclosed Type enclosed by JAXBElement */ public JAXBElementParsingDeployer(Class<T> output, Class<V> enclosed) { super(output); this.enclosed = enclosed; } /** * Create lifecycle * * @throws Exception for any problem */ @Override public void create() throws Exception { if (properties != null) context = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[] {enclosed}, properties); else context = JAXBContext.newInstance(enclosed); } /** * Destroy lifecycle */ public void destroy() { context = null; } @Override protected Object parse(VFSDeploymentUnit unit, VirtualFile file, Object root) throws Exception { Unmarshaller unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller(); InputStream is = openStreamAndValidate(file); try { InputSource source = new InputSource(is); source.setSystemId(file.toURI().toString()); Object o = unmarshaller.unmarshal(source); return getOutput().cast(o); } finally { try { is.close(); } catch (Exception ignored) { } } } }
So if "context" and "properties" are made protected members of the JAXBDeployer then I can just override the create method to avoid the duplicated parse.
