An alternative API for working with XML files using JAXB

👋

I'm a front-end developer at Upstock; writer and baker (and a whole host of other things I've failed to list) in my spare time, based in the tiny little country of New Zealand.

I'm a computer programmer by trade; my career having started in server-side Java development, though I now spend my days with everything HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

I also do a bit of coding in my spare time, including a classic Command & Conquer remake project written in Groovy, occassional contributions to the Thymeleaf project, and a whole host of smaller projects, all of which you can find on my GitHub profile which you're probably looking at right now!

jaxb-utilities's Issues

Stop throwing XMLExceptions all over the place

When this project was written in Java, it was to wrap all of the checked exceptions with runtime exceptions (I'm not a fan of checked exceptions) so that the consumer wasn't forced to add those things to their own method signatures if they don't want to.

Now that this project is written in Groovy (and Groovy thankfully also hates checked exceptions), I can remove a lot of these rethrows 😁

JAXB errors in Java 9 due to deprecated javax.activation framework

Java 9 disables access to the javax.* packages by default, and has included the JAXB package as one of them. This causes runtime errors when using this library with Java 9. There's a workaround of telling Java 9 to allow access to this package (--add-modules java.xml.bind (yes, there's no "x" there)) but this won't work come Java 10.

Long-term fix: update the JAXB dependency to one that's made for Java 9?

JodaTime adapter for xsd:date

Hi - how about a JAXB adapter for jodatime <-> xsd:date types? (e.g. LocalDate as it does represent time - only the date).

Adapters for the Java 8 time package

Not sure if JAXB does this already for Java 8, but if not it could help people (namely myself!) with the migration from Joda Time to java.time that the author of Joda Time encourage people to do.

XMLLocalDateAdapter.unmarshal accepts 2006.01.01z

XMLLocalDateAdapter.unmarshal accepts 2006.01.01z, but this is not valid xsd:date format, it should only accept upper-case.

What do you think?

Change case of classes from XML to Xml

The conventions I follow don't use upper-case for XML do they?

Need to escape CDATA end sequence in XMLCDataAdapter

quick fix:

Hi - can you push a release of 1.2.5 to maven central?

TIA

Drop external JAXB dependency

JAXB has been a part of Java for a while now, but I rely on some additional classes that are in JAXB 2.2.7 but not in 2.2.11 to do some of the more edge-casey stuff.

Is it possible to drop the external dependency? Will I have to provide copies of those additional classes?
