 * <b>Unmarshalling XML Data</b><br>

 * <blockquote>

 * Unmarshalling can deserialize XML data that represents either an entire XML document

 * or a subtree of an XML document. Typically, it is sufficient to use the

 * unmarshalling methods described by

 * <a href="#unmarshalGlobal">Unmarshal root element that is declared globally</a>.

 * These unmarshal methods utilize {@link JAXBContext}'s mapping of global XML element

 * declarations and type definitions to JAXB mapped classes to initiate the

 * unmarshalling of the root element of  XML data.  When the {@link JAXBContext}'s

 * mappings are not sufficient to unmarshal the root element of XML data,

 * the application can assist the unmarshalling process by using the

 * <a href="#unmarshalByDeclaredType">unmarshal by declaredType methods</a>.

 * These methods are useful for unmarshalling XML data where

 * the root element corresponds to a local element declaration in the schema.

 * </blockquote>

 *

 * <blockquote>

 * An unmarshal method never returns null. If the unmarshal process is unable to unmarshal

 * the root of XML content to a JAXB mapped object, a fatal error is reported that

 * terminates processing by throwing JAXBException.

 * </blockquote>

 *

 * <p>

 * <a name="unmarshalGlobal"></a>

 * <b>Unmarshal a root element that is globally declared</b><br>

 * <blockquote>

 * The unmarshal methods that do not have an <tt>declaredType</tt> parameter use

 * {@link JAXBContext} to unmarshal the root element of an XML data. The {@link JAXBContext}

 * instance is the one that was used to create this <tt>Unmarshaller</tt>. The {@link JAXBContext}

 * instance maintains a mapping of globally declared XML element and type definition names to

 * JAXB mapped classes. The unmarshal method checks if {@link JAXBContext} has a mapping

 * from the root element's XML name and/or <tt>@xsi:type</tt> to a JAXB mapped class.  If it does, it umarshalls the

 * XML data using the appropriate JAXB mapped class. Note that when the root element name is unknown and the root

 * element has an <tt>@xsi:type</tt>, the XML data is unmarshalled

 * using that JAXB mapped class as the value of a {@link JAXBElement}.

 * When the {@link JAXBContext} object does not have a mapping for the root element's name

 * nor its <tt>@xsi:type</tt>, if it exists,

 * then the unmarshal operation will abort immediately by throwing a {@link UnmarshalException

 * UnmarshalException}. This exception scenario can be worked around by using the unmarshal by

 * declaredType methods described in the next subsection.

 * </blockquote>

 *

 * <p>

 * <a name="unmarshalByDeclaredType"></a>

 * <b>Unmarshal by Declared Type</b><br>

 * <blockquote>

 * The unmarshal methods with a <code>declaredType</code> parameter enable an

 * application to deserialize a root element of XML data, even when

 * there is no mapping in {@link JAXBContext} of the root element's XML name.

 * The unmarshaller unmarshals the root element using the application provided

 * mapping specified as the <tt>declaredType</tt> parameter.

 * Note that even when the root element's element name is mapped by {@link JAXBContext},

 * the <code>declaredType</code> parameter overrides that mapping for

 * deserializing the root element when using these unmarshal methods.

 * Additionally, when the root element of XML data has an <tt>xsi:type</tt> attribute and

 * that attribute's value references a type definition that is mapped

 * to a JAXB mapped class by {@link JAXBContext}, that the root

 * element's <tt>xsi:type</tt> attribute takes

 * precedence over the unmarshal methods <tt>declaredType</tt> parameter.

 *

 *       JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo" );

 *

 * <p>

 * <b>Support for SAX2.0 Compliant Parsers</b><br>

 * <blockquote>

 * A client application has the ability to select the SAX2.0 compliant parser

 * of their choice.  If a SAX parser is not selected, then the JAXB Provider's

 * default parser will be used.  Even though the JAXB Provider's default parser

 * is not required to be SAX2.0 compliant, all providers are required to allow

 * a client application to specify their own SAX2.0 parser.  Some providers may

 * require the client application to specify the SAX2.0 parser at schema compile

 * time. See {@link #unmarshal(javax.xml.transform.Source) unmarshal(Source)}

 * for more detail.

 * </blockquote>

 *

 * <p>

 * <b>Validation and Well-Formedness</b><br>

 * <blockquote>

 * <p>

 * A client application can enable or disable JAXP 1.3 validation

 * mechanism via the <tt>setSchema(javax.xml.validation.Schema)</tt> API.

 * Sophisticated clients can specify their own validating SAX 2.0 compliant

 * parser and bypass the JAXP 1.3 validation mechanism using the

 * {@link #unmarshal(javax.xml.transform.Source) unmarshal(Source)}  API.

 *

 * <p>

 * Since unmarshalling invalid XML content is defined in JAXB 2.0,

 * the Unmarshaller default validation event handler was made more lenient

 * than in JAXB 1.0.  When schema-derived code generated

 * by JAXB 1.0 binding compiler is registered with {@link JAXBContext},

 * the default unmarshal validation handler is

 * {@link javax.xml.bind.helpers.DefaultValidationEventHandler} and it

 * terminates the marshal  operation after encountering either a fatal error or an error.

 * For a JAXB 2.0 client application, there is no explicitly defined default

 * validation handler and the default event handling only

 * terminates the unmarshal operation after encountering a fatal error.

 *

 * </blockquote>

 *

 * <p>

 * <a name="supportedProps"></a>

 * <b>Supported Properties</b><br>

 * <blockquote>

 * <p>

 * There currently are not any properties required to be supported by all

 * JAXB Providers on Unmarshaller.  However, some providers may support

 * their own set of provider specific properties.

 * </blockquote>

 *

 * <p>

 * <a name="unmarshalEventCallback"></a>

 * <b>Unmarshal Event Callbacks</b><br>

 * <blockquote>

 * The {@link Unmarshaller} provides two styles of callback mechanisms

 * that allow application specific processing during key points in the

 * unmarshalling process.  In 'class defined' event callbacks, application

 * specific code placed in JAXB mapped classes is triggered during

 * unmarshalling.  'External listeners' allow for centralized processing

 * of unmarshal events in one callback method rather than by type event callbacks.

 * <p>

 * 'Class defined' event callback methods allow any JAXB mapped class to specify

 * its own specific callback methods by defining methods with the following method signature:

 * <blockquote>

 * <pre>

 *   // This method is called immediately after the object is created and before the unmarshalling of this

 *   // object begins. The callback provides an opportunity to initialize JavaBean properties prior to unmarshalling.

 *   void beforeUnmarshal(Unmarshaller, Object parent);

 *

 *   //This method is called after all the properties (except IDREF) are unmarshalled for this object,

 *   //but before this object is set to the parent object.

 *   void afterUnmarshal(Unmarshaller, Object parent);

 * </pre>

 * </blockquote>

 * The class defined callback methods should be used when the callback method requires

 * access to non-public methods and/or fields of the class.

 * <p>

 * The external listener callback mechanism enables the registration of a {@link Listener}

 * instance with an {@link Unmarshaller#setListener(Listener)}. The external listener receives all callback events,

 * allowing for more centralized processing than per class defined callback methods.  The external listener

 * <p>

 * The 'class defined' and external listener event callback methods are independent of each other,

 * both can be called for one event.  The invocation ordering when both listener callback methods exist is

 * defined in {@link Listener#beforeUnmarshal(Object, Object)} and {@link Listener#afterUnmarshal(Object, Object)}.

* <p>

 * An event callback method throwing an exception terminates the current unmarshal process.
