You may find information about the normative binding schema defined in the Jakarta XML Binding Specification athttps://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jaxb.
The JAXB 2.x RI is a major reimplementation to meet the requirements of the 2.x specifications.
Please refer to the jaxb-1-0-x-changelog for older releases.
First release under Eclipse Jakarta EE Platform:
Uptake of renamed Jakarta APIs.
JAXB RI is now JPMS modularized:
All modules have native module descriptor.
Removed jaxb-core module, which caused split package issue on JPMS.
RI binary bundle now has single jar per dependency instead of shaded fat jars.
Removed runtime class weaving optimization.
Removed legacy technology dependencies:
com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb1-impl
net.java.dev.msv:msv-core
net.java.dev.msv:xsdlib
com.sun.xml.bind.jaxb:isorelax
Adopt Java SE 9:
JAXB api can now be loaded as a module.
JAXB RI is able to run on Java SE 9 from the classpath.
Addes support for java.util.ServiceLoader mechanism.
Security fixes
Bug fixes:
Fixed split Message bundles between modules
Changed Codemodel to allow correct functioning of BeanValidation Plugin for XJC
Security fixes
Fixed '-disableXmlSecurity' flag usage
Fixed redundant namespace prefixes
Fixed mixed content for StAX
Now we generate OSGI manifests for jaxb-core, jaxb-impl, jaxb-xjc anc jaxb-jxc
Marked com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.resolver
and com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.resolver.tools
as optional. They are part of JDK.
JAXB-973: generated code should be
compilable with '-Xdoclint:all'
JAXB-598: XJC generates ordered
ObjectFactories, @XmlSeeAlso annotations and episode files.
Bug fixes:
Fixed for preserving whitespaces within xsd:any mixed element
Security fixes
Fixed circular dependency between SAAJ and JAXB; stax-ex changed not to use SAAJ-API
Fixed catalog logging. Allow user to disable usage of system proxies. Force CatalogResolver to set verbosity level.
Fixed stream handling
Fixed EnvelopeFactory
Bug fixes:
Security fixes.
Fixed wrong ref element generation
Fixed OSGi bug: NoClassDefFoundError javax/xml/soap/soapelement
This release is integrated into JDK 8. (Build 2.2.8-b130911.1802)
JAXB RI project is now mavenized. New maven groupId introduced: org.glassfish.jaxb So if you are use maven you can simply add dependency block:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-bom</artifactId>
<version>2.2.8</version>
<type>pom</type>
</dependency>
From now JAXB RI project uses GIT VCS. You can get our sources from:
GitHub: git clone https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxb-ri.git
Bug fixes:
Integrated new osgi-fied api
Fixed the bug with namespaces. Namespace must match in order to be able to generate ref otherwise the generated element ref belongs to different namespace. Ref generation is isolated only to cases where package mapping prevails
Updated access to JAX-WS
New JAXP version support added.
Fixed broken links in documentation
Fixed userguide
JXC findBugs fixes.
Added txw to jaxb source repo
Fixed bug when JAXB marshaller setting xsi:nil as true for non-nillable elements
Fixed event handling for missing xsi type
added errorCounter
added logging level check
Updated JAXB API with licence/fbugs fixes, and osgi fix
JAX_WS-1114: Fixed marshalling of gMonth type.
To enable old behavior use switch: jaxb.ri.useOldGmonthMapping
JAXB-937: Fixed Coordinator ThreadLocal
Fixed invalid absolute URL
Removed the need for synchronization - tailor can still happen multiple times under specific circumstances, but it's better than contention within multiple threads on one class
Fixed SimpleNameClass dependency
Fixed managing of nested collections.
Fixed maven configuration: made JDK deps required, map jaxb-extra-osgi exports by version, removed
dep on com.sun.nio
Codemodel is imported into JAXB project tree
Security fixes
Added JAXB OSGi test.
JAXB 1.0 runtime is restored. It's bundled into the jaxb-extra-osgi.jar
now. Required libraries are located in $JAXB_HOME/tools/jaxb1_libs folder.
The processing of -source XJC option is removed. We use 2.0 version of the schema compiler. For generating 1.0.x code, please use an installation of the 1.0.x codebase.
resolver.jar is not bundled by JAXB anymore. It's already part of JDK.
If you are using JDK which doesn't contain it - you have to download it manually
(e.g. from maven: com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal:resolver).
JAXB project was split into several modules: core, impl, xjc and jxc. So now it is possible to use XJC
with other JAXB runtime implementation (e.g. EclipseLink MOXy). While using XJC be aware of having any runtime JAXB
implementation (respectively jaxb-impl.jar ) on classpath.
Bug fixes:
JAXB-452 - Embedded DOM Elements may lose locally defined namespace prefixes
JAXB-915 - Cannot generate java classes from xjc
JAXB-919 - xjc - proxy authentication fails
JAXB-922 - JAXB samples fail
JAXB-939 - '#' at the end of a namespace : different of behavior, sometimes a underscore is added, sometimes not.
JAXB-940 - wrong default value for "target" parameter for xjc ant task
JAXB-948
- JAXB differences in JDK 7 in
com/sun/xml/internal/bind/v2/runtime/reflect/Lister.java#Lister.CollectionLister.endPacking
Improvement:
JAXB-912 - XJC split
Project cleaning done:
JAXB 1.0 is not bundled anymore.
Libraries jaxb1-xjc.jar , msv.jar
was removed.
Package com/sun/msv/datatype was extracted to
jaxb-extra-osgi.jar
