Dynamic JAXB support to convert XML to JSON

问题

I am using eclipse link(v2.5.0) Dynamic JAXB to convert XML to JSON and viceversa.

customer.xsd

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<xs:schema version="1.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="address" type="address"/>
  <xs:element name="customer" type="customer"/>

  <xs:complexType name="address">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="city" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
      <xs:element name="street" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
       <xs:element name="type" type="xs:string"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

  <xs:complexType name="customer">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element ref="address" minOccurs="0"/>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

</xs:schema>

customer.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customer>
   <name>Jane Doe</name>
   <address>
      <city>My Town</city>
      <street>123 Any Street</street>
      <type>work</type>
    </address>

</customer>

customer.json

{
   "address" : {
      "city" : "My Town",
      "street" : "123 Any Street",
      "type" : "work"
   }
}

MyCode

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
         try {

                // create DynamicJAXBContext
                FileInputStream xsdInputStream = new FileInputStream("D:\\GUI\\customer.xsd");
                DynamicJAXBContext jaxbContext = DynamicJAXBContextFactory.createContextFromXSD(xsdInputStream, null, null, null);

                // Unmarshal XML--> Java
                FileInputStream xmlInputStream = new FileInputStream("D:\\GUI\\customer.xml");
                JAXBUnmarshaller unmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
                JAXBElement<DynamicEntity> root = (JAXBElement)unmarshaller.unmarshal(xmlInputStream);
                JAXBMarshaller marshaller = jaxbContext.createMarshaller();
                DynamicEntity javaResponse = root.getValue();

                Map namespaces = new HashMap();             
                // Marshal Java --> JSON
                JAXBMarshaller jsonMarshaller = jaxbContext.createMarshaller();
                jsonMarshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
                jsonMarshaller.setProperty(MarshallerProperties.MEDIA_TYPE, "application/json");
                jsonMarshaller.setProperty(MarshallerProperties.NAMESPACE_PREFIX_MAPPER, namespaces);
                FileOutputStream jsonOutputStream = new FileOutputStream("D:\\GUI\\customer.json");
                jsonMarshaller.marshal(javaResponse, jsonOutputStream);

                // JSON->JAVA->XML
                JAXBUnmarshaller jsonUnmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
                jsonUnmarshaller.setProperty(UnmarshallerProperties.MEDIA_TYPE, "application/json");
                jsonUnmarshaller.setProperty(UnmarshallerProperties.JSON_NAMESPACE_PREFIX_MAPPER, namespaces);
                StreamSource json = new StreamSource("D:\\GUI\\customer.json");
                JAXBElement<DynamicEntity> myroot = (JAXBElement)jsonUnmarshaller.unmarshal(json);
                DynamicEntity myResponse = myroot.getValue();

                marshaller.marshal(myResponse, System.out);

            } catch (JAXBException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } 

        }

}

My questions

1.Does eclipse link Dynamic JAXB officially support XML to JSON and viceversa conversions as I have tried above, as I could not see any such examples?

2.How to avoid the above nullpointer exception and still have an element named "type" defined as part of the schema? Is this a bug? Are there any workarounds? I have written the demo code only to highlight the same problem I face elsewhere where I use multiple XML schemas and require a namespace aware handling for JSON conversion.

EclipseLink JAXB (MOXy)'s Dynamic JAXB supports all of the same features as its regular JAXB including JSON-binding.

You could change your code to the following:

            // JSON->JAVA->XML
            JAXBUnmarshaller jsonUnmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
            jsonUnmarshaller.setProperty(UnmarshallerProperties.MEDIA_TYPE, "application/json");

            // Since there is no root node in your JSON document you should set this flag
            jsonUnmarshaller.setProperty(UnmarshallerProperties.JSON_INCLUDE_ROOT, false);

            // Since there is no root node to uniquely identify the class you need 
            // to supply one in the unmarshal method.  To get the "class" for a 
            // DynamicEntity you can do the following:
            Class customerType = jaxbContext.getDynamicType("generated.Customer").getJavaClass();
            StreamSource json = new StreamSource("src/forum17446153/customer.json");
            JAXBElement<DynamicEntity> myroot = (JAXBElement)jsonUnmarshaller.unmarshal(json, customerType);
            DynamicEntity myResponse = myroot.getValue();

            // Since the customer type is named in the XML schema there isn't
            // a root element associated with the type.  This means you will need
            // to wrap in in an instance of JAXBElement to marshal it.,
            JAXBElement jaxbElementResponse = new JAXBElement(new QName("customer"), customerType, myResponse);
            marshaller.marshal(jaxbElementResponse, System.out);

Change

StreamSource json = new StreamSource("D:\\GUI\\customer.json");

File json = new File("D:\\GUI\\customer.json");

And it should work. :)
