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.
