Welcome to JaxMe!

- A Framework for Java/XML binding based on SAX2 -

Note:
As of Oct 2003, JaxMe 2 was accepted for incubation into the Apache web services project. As a consequence, the further development of JaxMe 2 on SourceForge is discontinued. Development of JaxMe 1 will continue for a while, as long as JaxMe 2 becomes stable.

Introduction:

JaxMe is a tool for Java programmers that greatly simplifies working with XML. JaxMe is your friend, if you :

just want to write your Java application, without worrying about the details of XML programming
want to have the speed of SAX2 and the simplicity of DOM
insist on type safety rather than treating everything as a String

What JaxMe does may be best demonstrated by an example. Suppose we have the following XML document:

    <bankaccount>
      <owner>Jochen Wiedmann</owner>
      <balance>23.67</balance>
      <created>25-Aug-2002 09:34:27</created>
    </bankaccount>

What do you want to do with this document?

Insert it into a database
Read it from the database and update or delete a record in the database
Read it from an external source, such as a web application.
Convert it into XML for later use in the same web application

JaxMe automatically generates the following set of Java classes for you:


`ClsBankAccountHandler` `SAX2 ContentHandler`


`ClsBankaccount` `String eOwner;` `Double eBalance;` `java.util.Date eCreated`


`ClsBankAccountManager` `parse(String pXmlDocument);` `parse(java.io.File pXmlFile);` `parse(java.net.URL pUrl);` `insert(ClsBankAccount pXmlDocument);` `update(ClsBankAccount pXmlDocument);` `delete(ClsBankAccount pXmlDocument);` `select(String pQuery);`

Note that:

As a SAX2 handler, the class ClsBankAccountHandler supports namespaces.
The instance variables eOwner, eBalance and eCreated have appropriate Java types, providing the standard benefits of type safety.
