    JAXB Deployer

    anil.saldhana

      I 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.
