[java] How to generate JAXB classes from XSD?

XJC is included in the bin directory in the JDK starting with Java SE 6. For an example see:

The contents of the blog are the following:

Processing Atom Feeds with JAXB Atom is an XML format for representing web feeds. A standard format allows reader applications to display feeds from different sources. In this example we will process the Atom feed for this blog.

Demo

In this example we will use JAXB to convert the Atom XML feed corresponding to this blog to objects and then back to XML.

import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.xml.bind.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import org.w3._2005.atom.FeedType;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance("org.w3._2005.atom");

        Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
        URL url = new URL("http://bdoughan.blogspot.com/atom.xml");
        InputStream xml = url.openStream();
        JAXBElement<feedtype> feed = unmarshaller.unmarshal(new StreamSource(xml), FeedType.class);
        xml.close();

        Marshaller marshaller = jc.createMarshaller();
        marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
        marshaller.marshal(feed, System.out);
    }

}

JAXB Model

The following model was generated by the schema to Java compiler (XJC). I have omitted the get/set methods and comments to save space.
