This utility class is useful to combine JAXB with other Java/XML technologies.

The following example shows how to use JAXB to unmarshal a document resulting from an XSLT transformation.

 JAXBResult result = new JAXBResult(
 JAXBContext.newInstance("org.acme.foo") );
 // set up XSLT transformation
 TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 Transformer t = tf.newTransformer(new StreamSource("test.xsl"));
 // run transformation
 t.transform(new StreamSource("document.xml"),result);
 // obtain the unmarshalled content tree
 Object o = result.getResult();
 

The fact that JAXBResult derives from SAXResult is an implementation detail.

This utility class is useful to combine JAXB with other Java/XML technologies.

The following example shows how to use JAXB to marshal a document for transformation by XSLT.

 MyObject o = // get JAXB content tree
 // jaxbContext is a JAXBContext object from which 'o' is created.
 JAXBSource source = new JAXBSource( jaxbContext, o );
 // set up XSLT transformation
 TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 Transformer t = tf.newTransformer(new StreamSource("test.xsl"));
 // run transformation
 t.transform(source,new StreamResult(System.out));
 

The fact that JAXBSource derives from SAXSource is an implementation detail.

To use this class, create a new instance and pass it to the setEventHandler method of the Validator, Unmarshaller, Marshaller class.
