   184  * <p>
       
   185  * Client applications are not required to validate the Java content tree prior
       
   186  * to calling any of the marshal API's.  Furthermore, there is no requirement
       
   187  * that the Java content tree be valid with respect to its original schema in
       
   188  * order to marshal it back into XML data.  Different JAXB Providers will
       
   189  * support marshalling invalid Java content trees at varying levels, however
       
   190  * all JAXB Providers must be able to marshal a valid content tree back to
       
   191  * XML data.  A JAXB Provider must throw a <tt>MarshalException</tt> when it
       
   192  * is unable to complete the marshal operation due to invalid content.  Some
       
   193  * JAXB Providers will fully allow marshalling invalid content, others will fail
       
   194  * on the first validation error.
       
   195  * <p>
       
   196  * Even when schema validation is not explictly enabled for the marshal operation,
       
   197  * it is possible that certain types of validation events will be detected
       
   198  * during the operation.  Validation events will be reported to the registered
       
   199  * event handler.  If the client application has not registered an event handler
       
   200  * prior to invoking one of the marshal API's, then events will be delivered to
       
   201  * a default event handler which will terminate the marshal operation after
       
   202  * encountering the first error or fatal error. Note that for JAXB 2.0 and
       
   203  * later versions, {@link javax.xml.bind.helpers.DefaultValidationEventHandler} is
       
   204  * no longer used.

   275  * <b>Marshal Event Callbacks</b><br>
       
   276  * <blockquote>
       
   277  * "The {@link Marshaller} provides two styles of callback mechanisms
       
   278  * that allow application specific processing during key points in the
       
   279  * unmarshalling process.  In 'class defined' event callbacks, application
       
   280  * specific code placed in JAXB mapped classes is triggered during
       
   281  * marshalling.  'External listeners' allow for centralized processing
       
   282  * of marshal events in one callback method rather than by type event callbacks.
       
   283  *
       
   284  * <p>
       
   285  * Class defined event callback methods allow any JAXB mapped class to specify
       
   286  * its own specific callback methods by defining methods with the following method signatures:
       
   287  * <blockquote>
       
   288  * <pre>
       
   289  *   // Invoked by Marshaller after it has created an instance of this object.
       
   290  *   boolean beforeMarshal(Marshaller);
       
   291  *
       
   292  *   // Invoked by Marshaller after it has marshalled all properties of this object.
       
   293  *   void afterMarshal(Marshaller);
       
   294  * </pre>
       
   295  * </blockquote>
       
   296  * The class defined event callback methods should be used when the callback method requires
       
   297  * access to non-public methods and/or fields of the class.
       
   298  * <p>
       
   299  * The external listener callback mechanism enables the registration of a {@link Listener}
       
   300  * instance with a {@link Marshaller#setListener(Listener)}. The external listener receives all callback events,
       
   301  * allowing for more centralized processing than per class defined callback methods.
       
   302  * <p>
       
   303  * The 'class defined' and external listener event callback methods are independent of each other,
       
   304  * both can be called for one event. The invocation ordering when both listener callback methods exist is
       
   305  * defined in {@link Listener#beforeMarshal(Object)} and {@link Listener#afterMarshal(Object)}.
       
   306  * <p>
       
   307  * An event callback method throwing an exception terminates the current marshal process.
