+ * <b>Marshalling content tree rooted by a JAXB element</b><br>
+ * <blockquote>
+ * The first parameter of the overloaded
+ * {@code Marshaller.marshal(java.lang.Object, ...)} methods must be a
+ * JAXB element as computed by
+ * {@link JAXBIntrospector#isElement(java.lang.Object)};
+ * otherwise, a {@code Marshaller.marshal} method must throw a
+ * {@link MarshalException}. There exist two mechanisms
+ * to enable marshalling an instance that is not a JAXB element.
+ * One method is to wrap the instance as a value of a {@link JAXBElement},
+ * and pass the wrapper element as the first parameter to
+ * a {@code Marshaller.marshal} method. For java to schema binding, it
+ * is also possible to simply annotate the instance's class with
+ * &#64;{@link XmlRootElement}.
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * <b>Encoding</b><br>
+ * <blockquote>
+ * By default, the Marshaller will use UTF-8 encoding when generating XML data
+ * to a {@code java.io.OutputStream}, or a {@code java.io.Writer}.  Use the
+ * {@link #setProperty(String,Object) setProperty} API to change the output
+ * encoding used during these marshal operations.  Client applications are
+ * expected to supply a valid character encoding name as defined in the
+ * <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#charencoding">W3C XML 1.0
+ * Recommendation</a> and supported by your Java Platform.
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * <b>Validation and Well-Formedness</b><br>
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * Client applications are not required to validate the Java content tree prior
+ * to calling any of the marshal API's.  Furthermore, there is no requirement
+ * that the Java content tree be valid with respect to its original schema in
+ * order to marshal it back into XML data.  Different JAXB Providers will
+ * support marshalling invalid Java content trees at varying levels, however
+ * all JAXB Providers must be able to marshal a valid content tree back to
+ * XML data.  A JAXB Provider must throw a {@code MarshalException} when it
+ * is unable to complete the marshal operation due to invalid content.  Some
+ * JAXB Providers will fully allow marshalling invalid content, others will fail
+ * on the first validation error.
+ * <p>
+ * Even when schema validation is not explictly enabled for the marshal operation,
+ * it is possible that certain types of validation events will be detected
+ * during the operation.  Validation events will be reported to the registered
+ * event handler.  If the client application has not registered an event handler
+ * prior to invoking one of the marshal API's, then events will be delivered to
+ * a default event handler which will terminate the marshal operation after
+ * encountering the first error or fatal error. Note that for JAXB 2.0 and
+ * later versions, {@link javax.xml.bind.helpers.DefaultValidationEventHandler} is
+ * no longer used.
+ *
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * <a name="supportedProps"></a>
+ * <b>Supported Properties</b><br>
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <p>
+ * All JAXB Providers are required to support the following set of properties.
+ * Some providers may support additional properties.
+ * <dl>
+ *   <dt>{@code jaxb.encoding} - value must be a java.lang.String</dt>
+ *   <dd>The output encoding to use when marshalling the XML data.  The
+ *               Marshaller will use "UTF-8" by default if this property is not
+ *       specified.</dd>
+ *   <dt>{@code jaxb.formatted.output} - value must be a java.lang.Boolean</dt>
+ *   <dd>This property controls whether or not the Marshaller will format
+ *       the resulting XML data with line breaks and indentation.  A
+ *       true value for this property indicates human readable indented
+ *       xml data, while a false value indicates unformatted xml data.
+ *       The Marshaller will default to false (unformatted) if this
+ *       property is not specified.</dd>
+ *   <dt>{@code jaxb.schemaLocation} - value must be a java.lang.String</dt>
+ *   <dd>This property allows the client application to specify an
+ *       xsi:schemaLocation attribute in the generated XML data.  The format of
+ *       the schemaLocation attribute value is discussed in an easy to
+ *       understand, non-normative form in
+ *       <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#schemaLocation">Section 5.6
+ *       of the W3C XML Schema Part 0: Primer</a> and specified in
+ *       <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#Instance_Document_Constructions">
+ *       Section 2.6 of the W3C XML Schema Part 1: Structures</a>.</dd>
+ *   <dt>{@code jaxb.noNamespaceSchemaLocation} - value must be a java.lang.String</dt>
+ *   <dd>This property allows the client application to specify an
+ *       xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute in the generated XML
+ *       data.  The format of the schemaLocation attribute value is discussed in
+ *       an easy to understand, non-normative form in

+ *       <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#Instance_Document_Constructions">
+ *       Section 2.6 of the W3C XML Schema Part 1: Structures</a>.</dd>
+ *   <dt>{@code jaxb.fragment} - value must be a java.lang.Boolean</dt>
+ *   <dd>This property determines whether or not document level events will be
+ *       generated by the Marshaller.  If the property is not specified, the
+ *       default is {@code false}. This property has different implications depending
+ *       on which marshal api you are using - when this property is set to true:<br>
+ *       <ul>
+ *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,org.xml.sax.ContentHandler) marshal(Object,ContentHandler)} - the Marshaller won't
+ *             invoke {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler#startDocument()} and
+ *             {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler#endDocument()}.</li>
+ *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,org.w3c.dom.Node) marshal(Object,Node)} - the property has no effect on this
+ *             API.</li>
+ *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,java.io.OutputStream) marshal(Object,OutputStream)} - the Marshaller won't
+ *             generate an xml declaration.</li>
+ *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,java.io.Writer) marshal(Object,Writer)} - the Marshaller won't
+ *             generate an xml declaration.</li>
+ *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,javax.xml.transform.Result) marshal(Object,Result)} - depends on the kind of
+ *             Result object, see semantics for Node, ContentHandler, and Stream APIs</li>
+ *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,javax.xml.stream.XMLEventWriter) marshal(Object,XMLEventWriter)} - the
+ *             Marshaller will not generate {@link javax.xml.stream.events.XMLEvent#START_DOCUMENT} and
+ *             {@link javax.xml.stream.events.XMLEvent#END_DOCUMENT} events.</li>
+ *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter) marshal(Object,XMLStreamWriter)} - the
+ *             Marshaller will not generate {@link javax.xml.stream.events.XMLEvent#START_DOCUMENT} and

+ *   </dd>
+ * </dl>
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * <a name="marshalEventCallback"></a>
+ * <b>Marshal Event Callbacks</b><br>
+ * <blockquote>
+ * "The {@link Marshaller} 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
+ * marshalling.  'External listeners' allow for centralized processing
+ * of marshal 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 signatures:
+ * <blockquote>
+ * <pre>
+ *   // Invoked by Marshaller after it has created an instance of this object.
+ *   boolean beforeMarshal(Marshaller);
+ *
+ *   // Invoked by Marshaller after it has marshalled all properties of this object.
+ *   void afterMarshal(Marshaller);
+ * </pre>
+ * </blockquote>
+ * The class defined event 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 a {@link Marshaller#setListener(Listener)}. The external listener receives all callback events,
+ * allowing for more centralized processing than per class defined callback methods.
+ * <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#beforeMarshal(Object)} and {@link Listener#afterMarshal(Object)}.
+ * <p>
+ * An event callback method throwing an exception terminates the current marshal process.
