      <h3><a name="start"></a>Pre-Java 5 sample code</h3>

<p>The final customization example demonstrates several features, including the use of
untyped collections and custom typesafe enumeration classes. The code used for this
example is in the same source tree as that used for the previous examples, but in a
different package (<code>org.jibx.starter2</code>). Here's a sample of this non-Java 5
code, again with only a few of the classes shown and most of the get/set access
methods left out:</p>

<div id="source"><pre>/**
 * Order information.
 */
public class Order
{
    private long m_orderNumber;
    
    private Customer m_customer;
    
    /** Billing address information. */
    private Address m_billTo;
    
    private Shipping m_shipping;
    
    /** Shipping address information. If missing, the billing address is also used as the
     shipping address. */
    private Address m_shipTo;
    
    private List m_items;
    
    /** Date order was placed with server. */
    private Date m_orderDate;
    
    /** Date order was shipped. This will be &lt;code>null&lt;/code> if the order has not
     yet shipped. */
    private Date m_shipDate;
    
    private Float total;

    public long getOrderNumber() {
        return m_orderNumber;
    }

    public void setOrderNumber(long orderId) {
        this.m_orderNumber = orderId;
    }
    ...
}

/**
 * Address information.
 */
public class Address
{
    /** First line of street information (required). */
    private String m_street1;
    
    /** Second line of street information (optional). */
    private String m_street2;
    
    private String m_city;
    
    /** State abbreviation (required for the U.S. and Canada, optional otherwise). */
    private String m_state;
    
    /** Postal code (required for the U.S. and Canada, optional otherwise). */
    private String m_postCode;
    
    /** Country name (optional, U.S. assumed if not supplied). */
    private String m_country;

    public String getStreet1() {
        return m_street1;
    }

    public void setStreet1(String street1) {
        this.m_street1 = street1;
    }
    ...
}

/**
 * Supported shipment methods. The "INTERNATIONAL" shipment methods can only be used for
 * orders with shipping addresses outside the U.S., and one of these methods is required
 * in this case.
 */
public class Shipping
{
    private static final List values = new ArrayList();
    
    public static final Shipping STANDARD_MAIL = new Shipping("STANDARD_MAIL");
    public static final Shipping PRIORITY_MAIL = new Shipping("PRIORITY_MAIL");
    public static final Shipping INTERNATIONAL_MAIL = new Shipping("INTERNATIONAL_MAIL");
    public static final Shipping DOMESTIC_EXPRESS = new Shipping("DOMESTIC_EXPRESS");
    public static final Shipping INTERNATIONAL_EXPRESS = new Shipping("INTERNATIONAL_EXPRESS");
    
    private String text;
    
    private Shipping(String text) {
        this.text = text;
        values.add(this);
    }
    
    public static Shipping fromString(String text) {
        for (Iterator iter = values.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
            Shipping value = (Shipping)iter.next();
            if (value.text.equals(text)) {
                return value;
            }
        }
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("'" + text + " is not a legal value");
    }
    
    public String toString() {
        return text;
    }
}</pre></div>

      </div>
      <div class="h3">
      <a name="schema"></a><h3>Customizing individual values and more</h3>

<p>Here's <i>custom3.xml</i>, used by Example 4 with the above code:</p>

<div id="source"><pre>&lt;custom namespace-style="fixed" namespace="http://www.jibx.org/starters/fromcode"
    force-mapping="true" strip-prefixes="m_">
  &lt;package name="org.jibx.starter2">
    &lt;class name="Address" requireds="street1 city"/>
    &lt;class name="Customer" requireds="lastName firstName /customerNumber">
      &lt;value field="m_middleNames" item-type="java.lang.String"/>
    &lt;/class>
    &lt;class name="Item" excludes="description">
      &lt;value get-method="getId" set-method="setId" attribute="id" required="true"/>
      &lt;value property-name="quantity" attribute="quantity" required="true"/>
      &lt;value field="m_price" required="true"/>
    &lt;/class>
    &lt;class name="Order" requireds="orderNumber customer billTo shipping orderDate">
      &lt;value field="m_items" item-type="org.jibx.starter2.Item"/>
    &lt;/class>
    &lt;class name="Shipping" form="simple"
        deserializer="org.jibx.starter2.Shipping.fromString"/>
  &lt;/package>
&lt;/custom></pre></div>

<p>The <code>force-mapping="true"</code> attribute on the root 'custom' element modifies
the structure of the generated binding and schema. This customization tells BindGen to
create a separate schema complexType and corresponding abstract mapping definition for
each class in the binding with any child elements or attributes (rather than taking the
default approach of inlining those which are only used once). The
<code>strip-prefixes="m_"</code> customization tells BindGen to strip off any 'm_' prefix
on field names (there's also a 'strip-suffixes' customization, and both of these take a
space-separated list of possible prefixes/suffixes rather than just a single text).</p>

<p>The last nested 'class' element, for the 'Shipping' class, uses a pair of attributes to
control how BindGen works with this class. The first attribute, <code>form="simple"</code>,
says that instances of the class are to be represented in XML documents as a simple text
string, which can take the form of either an attribute value or the content of an element.
The second attribute, <code>deserializer="org.jibx.starter2.Shipping.fromString"</code>,
tells BindGen to use the specified static static method to convert a text value into an
instance of the class. This is necessary because the class implements a type-safe
enumeration, and the existing instance for a particular value needs to be returned rather
than a new instance. If the class implemented a constructor taking a single <code>String</code>
argument that would be used by default. You can also use a 'serializer' attribute for a
simple value class to tell BindGen how to get the text value for an instance of the class;
by default, it just uses the <code>toString()</code> method value.</p>

<p>The other differences from the <a href="%bgexample3%#custom">Example 3
customizations</a> are in the details for three of the class customizations. The
'Customer' and 'Order' class customizations each contain a nested 'value' customization
element referencing a field of type <code>java.util.List</code>. The 'item-type'
attributes on these nested elements tell BindGen what types of values are present in
each list, information which was available directly from the typed generics in the Java
5 version of the code. The 'Item' class customization also includes nested 'value'
elements, in this case replacing the 'requireds' attribute used in the earlier
customizations (so each nested value uses <code>required="true"</code>). These three
value elements demonstrate all three different ways of referencing a particular value
within a class: The first uses 'get-method' and 'set-method' attributes, the second uses
a 'property-name' attribute, and the third uses a 'field' attribute. The first two of
these elements also include 'attribute' attributes, each giving the name for the
corresponding value to be represented as an attribute in XML documents (if you wanted to
instead represent a value as an element, you'd use an 'element' attribute to specify the
name). The third value customization, for the 'm_price' field, does not specify a
representation and name, so the default representation and name (as an attribute named
'price') is used for that value.</p>

      </div>
      <div class="h3">
      <a name="schema"></a><h3>Generated schema</h3>

<p>You can try out the above customization by again using the Ant 'compile' target to
compile the sample code, followed by the 'custgen3' target to run BindGen using the
above customizations. Here's the resulting schema (again with the longer lines split):</p>

<p>The only significant changes to the schema from the <a href="%bgexample3%#schema">last
example</a> are that the formerly-embedded complexTypes representing 'Item' and 'Customer'
data are now global complexTypes (as requested by the <code>force-mapping="true"</code>
customization), and the actual enumeration of 'Shipping' values is missing. This latter
difference is a limitation of the current code for handling non-Java 5 enumerations, which
does not support a way of accessing the possible enumeration values. Support for accessing
the possible values will be added in a future release.</p>

      </div>
      <div class="h3">
      <a name="testing"></a><h3>Testing the binding</h3>

<p>Since the actual XML structure has not changed from the last example, the same
<a href="%bgexample3%#testing">test document</a> as last time can be used with this
example. Once you've run the Ant 'compile', 'custgen3', and 'bind' targets you can test the
generated binding using 'run-alt1' (which runs the test program in the <code>org.jibx.starter2</code>
package with <i>data2.xml</i> as input and <i>out2.xml</i> as output). You can
also try out the full 'compile', 'custgen3', 'bind', and 'run-alt' sequence by using
the Ant target 'custom3'.</p>
