   183  * <blockquote>
       
   184  * Unmarshalling can deserialize XML data that represents either an entire XML document
       
   185  * or a subtree of an XML document. Typically, it is sufficient to use the
       
   186  * unmarshalling methods described by
       
   187  * <a href="#unmarshalGlobal">Unmarshal root element that is declared globally</a>.
       
   188  * These unmarshal methods utilize {@link JAXBContext}'s mapping of global XML element
       
   189  * declarations and type definitions to JAXB mapped classes to initiate the
       
   190  * unmarshalling of the root element of  XML data.  When the {@link JAXBContext}'s
       
   191  * mappings are not sufficient to unmarshal the root element of XML data,
       
   192  * the application can assist the unmarshalling process by using the
       
   193  * <a href="#unmarshalByDeclaredType">unmarshal by declaredType methods</a>.
       
   194  * These methods are useful for unmarshalling XML data where
       
   195  * the root element corresponds to a local element declaration in the schema.
       
   196  * </blockquote>
       
   197  *
       
   198  * <blockquote>
       
   199  * An unmarshal method never returns null. If the unmarshal process is unable to unmarshal
       
   200  * the root of XML content to a JAXB mapped object, a fatal error is reported that
       
   201  * terminates processing by throwing JAXBException.

   206  * <b>Unmarshal a root element that is globally declared</b><br>
       
   207  * <blockquote>
       
   208  * The unmarshal methods that do not have an <tt>declaredType</tt> parameter use
       
   209  * {@link JAXBContext} to unmarshal the root element of an XML data. The {@link JAXBContext}
       
   210  * instance is the one that was used to create this <tt>Unmarshaller</tt>. The {@link JAXBContext}
       
   211  * instance maintains a mapping of globally declared XML element and type definition names to
       
   212  * JAXB mapped classes. The unmarshal method checks if {@link JAXBContext} has a mapping
       
   213  * from the root element's XML name and/or <tt>@xsi:type</tt> to a JAXB mapped class.  If it does, it umarshalls the
       
   214  * XML data using the appropriate JAXB mapped class. Note that when the root element name is unknown and the root
       
   215  * element has an <tt>@xsi:type</tt>, the XML data is unmarshalled
       
   216  * using that JAXB mapped class as the value of a {@link JAXBElement}.
       
   217  * When the {@link JAXBContext} object does not have a mapping for the root element's name
       
   218  * nor its <tt>@xsi:type</tt>, if it exists,
       
   219  * then the unmarshal operation will abort immediately by throwing a {@link UnmarshalException
       
   220  * UnmarshalException}. This exception scenario can be worked around by using the unmarshal by
       
   221  * declaredType methods described in the next subsection.

   227  * <blockquote>
       
   228  * The unmarshal methods with a <code>declaredType</code> parameter enable an
       
   229  * application to deserialize a root element of XML data, even when
       
   230  * there is no mapping in {@link JAXBContext} of the root element's XML name.
       
   231  * The unmarshaller unmarshals the root element using the application provided
       
   232  * mapping specified as the <tt>declaredType</tt> parameter.
       
   233  * Note that even when the root element's element name is mapped by {@link JAXBContext},
       
   234  * the <code>declaredType</code> parameter overrides that mapping for
       
   235  * deserializing the root element when using these unmarshal methods.
       
   236  * Additionally, when the root element of XML data has an <tt>xsi:type</tt> attribute and
       
   237  * that attribute's value references a type definition that is mapped
       
   238  * to a JAXB mapped class by {@link JAXBContext}, that the root

   319  * A client application has the ability to select the SAX2.0 compliant parser
       
   320  * of their choice.  If a SAX parser is not selected, then the JAXB Provider's
       
   321  * default parser will be used.  Even though the JAXB Provider's default parser
       
   322  * is not required to be SAX2.0 compliant, all providers are required to allow
       
   323  * a client application to specify their own SAX2.0 parser.  Some providers may
       
   324  * require the client application to specify the SAX2.0 parser at schema compile
       
   325  * time. See {@link #unmarshal(javax.xml.transform.Source) unmarshal(Source)}

   332  * <p>
       
   333  * A client application can enable or disable JAXP 1.3 validation
       
   334  * mechanism via the <tt>setSchema(javax.xml.validation.Schema)</tt> API.
       
   335  * Sophisticated clients can specify their own validating SAX 2.0 compliant

   338  *
       
   339  * <p>
       
   340  * Since unmarshalling invalid XML content is defined in JAXB 2.0,
       
   341  * the Unmarshaller default validation event handler was made more lenient
       
   342  * than in JAXB 1.0.  When schema-derived code generated
       
   343  * by JAXB 1.0 binding compiler is registered with {@link JAXBContext},
       
   344  * the default unmarshal validation handler is
       
   345  * {@link javax.xml.bind.helpers.DefaultValidationEventHandler} and it
       
   346  * terminates the marshal  operation after encountering either a fatal error or an error.
       
   347  * For a JAXB 2.0 client application, there is no explicitly defined default
       
   348  * validation handler and the default event handling only
       
   349  * terminates the unmarshal operation after encountering a fatal error.

   365  * <b>Unmarshal Event Callbacks</b><br>
       
   366  * <blockquote>
       
   367  * The {@link Unmarshaller} provides two styles of callback mechanisms
       
   368  * that allow application specific processing during key points in the
       
   369  * unmarshalling process.  In 'class defined' event callbacks, application
       
   370  * specific code placed in JAXB mapped classes is triggered during
       
   371  * unmarshalling.  'External listeners' allow for centralized processing
       
   372  * of unmarshal events in one callback method rather than by type event callbacks.
       
   373  * <p>
       
   374  * 'Class defined' event callback methods allow any JAXB mapped class to specify
       
   375  * its own specific callback methods by defining methods with the following method signature:
       
   376  * <blockquote>
       
   377  * <pre>
       
   378  *   // This method is called immediately after the object is created and before the unmarshalling of this
       
   379  *   // object begins. The callback provides an opportunity to initialize JavaBean properties prior to unmarshalling.
       
   380  *   void beforeUnmarshal(Unmarshaller, Object parent);
       
   381  *
       
   382  *   //This method is called after all the properties (except IDREF) are unmarshalled for this object,
       
   383  *   //but before this object is set to the parent object.
       
   384  *   void afterUnmarshal(Unmarshaller, Object parent);
       
   385  * </pre>
       
   386  * </blockquote>
       
   387  * The class defined callback methods should be used when the callback method requires
       
   388  * access to non-public methods and/or fields of the class.
       
   389  * <p>
       
   390  * The external listener callback mechanism enables the registration of a {@link Listener}
       
   391  * instance with an {@link Unmarshaller#setListener(Listener)}. The external listener receives all callback events,
       
   392  * allowing for more centralized processing than per class defined callback methods.  The external listener
       
   393  * receives events when unmarshalling proces is marshalling to a JAXB element or to JAXB mapped class.
       
   394  * <p>
       
   395  * The 'class defined' and external listener event callback methods are independent of each other,
       
   396  * both can be called for one event.  The invocation ordering when both listener callback methods exist is
       
   397  * defined in {@link Listener#beforeUnmarshal(Object, Object)} and {@link Listener#afterUnmarshal(Object, Object)}.
       
   398 * <p>
       
   399  * An event callback method throwing an exception terminates the current unmarshal process.

   589      * A client application can choose not to use the default parser mechanism
       
   590      * supplied with their JAXB provider.  Any SAX 2.0 compliant parser can be
       
   591      * substituted for the JAXB provider's default mechanism.  To do so, the
       
   592      * client application must properly configure a <tt>SAXSource</tt> containing
       
   593      * an <tt>XMLReader</tt> implemented by the SAX 2.0 parser provider.  If the
       
   594      * <tt>XMLReader</tt> has an <tt>org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler</tt> registered
       
   595      * on it, it will be replaced by the JAXB Provider so that validation errors
       
   596      * can be reported via the <tt>ValidationEventHandler</tt> mechanism of
       
   597      * JAXB.  If the <tt>SAXSource</tt> does not contain an <tt>XMLReader</tt>,
       
   598      * then the JAXB provider's default parser mechanism will be used.
       
   599      * <p>
       
   600      * This parser replacement mechanism can also be used to replace the JAXB
       
   601      * provider's unmarshal-time validation engine.  The client application
       
   602      * must properly configure their SAX 2.0 compliant parser to perform
       
   603      * validation (as shown in the example above).  Any <tt>SAXParserExceptions
       
   604      * </tt> encountered by the parser during the unmarshal operation will be
       
   605      * processed by the JAXB provider and converted into JAXB

   607      * client via the <tt>ValidationEventHandler</tt> registered with the
       
   608      * <tt>Unmarshaller</tt>.  <i>Note:</i> specifying a substitute validating
       
   609      * SAX 2.0 parser for unmarshalling does not necessarily replace the
