Welcome to JaxMe 2
Note
As of Oct 2003, JaxMe 2 is discontinued on SourceForge. The further
development is happening on http://ws.apache.org/jaxme/.
JaxMe 2 is an open source implementation of JAXB, the specification for Java/XML binding. A Java/XML binding compiler takes as input a schema description (in most cases an XML schema, but it may be a DTD, a RelaxNG schema, a Java class inspected via reflection, or a database schema). The output is a set of Java classes:
- A Java bean class matching the schema description. (If the schema was obtained via Java reflection, the original Java bean class.)
- Read a conforming XML document and convert it into the equivalent Java bean.
- Vice versa, marshal the Java bean back into the original XML document.
In the case of JaxMe, the generated classes may also
- Store the Java bean into a database. Preferrably an XML database like eXist, Xindice, or Tamino, but it may also be a relational database like MySQL. (If the schema is sufficiently simple. :-)
- Query the database for bean instances.
- Implement an EJB entity or session bean with the same abilities.
In other words, by simply creating a schema and running the JaxMe binding compiler,
you have automatically generated classes that implement the complete workflow of a typical web application:
