I use JAXB to generate Java classes from XML schema. Now I want to read an XML file with these classes, but can’t. I try this

    JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(STDMP.class);
    Unmarshaller jaxbUnmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
    STDMP ts = (STDMP)jaxbUnmarshaller.unmarshal(xml_gkuzu);
    System.out.println(ts.getEDocument().getSender().getName());

and get this exception

I don’t understand what’s wrong.

I tried to get CoordSystem Name with code and classes generated by Dangling Piyush.

Code

        File xml_gkuzu = new File("D:/liferay-develop/workspace/cat_test/XML/GKUZU_53ce0a8e-13e1-4e4e-99d9-2f45ae786d33!chz.xml");
    JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(CoordSystem.class);
SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
Schema schema = factory.newSchema(new StreamSource(new File("D:/liferay-develop/workspace/cat_test/v2/STD_MP.xsd")));
Unmarshaller jaxbUnmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
jaxbUnmarshaller.setSchema(schema);
CoordSystem cs = (CoordSystem)jaxbUnmarshaller.unmarshal(xml_gkuzu);
System.out.println(cs.getName());

But get an exception in line CoordSystem cs = (CoordSystem)jaxbUnmarshaller.unmarshal(xml_gkuzu);

Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException: unexpected element (uri:"", local:"STD_MP"). Expected elements are <{}Coord_System>

I would like to suggest do

 jaxbUnmarshaller.setSchema(schemaLocation);

By doing this you can check whether your xml is validating against xsd or not and you can also find out where is the problem in xml by reading the stacktrace of SAXException or JAXBException.

UPDATE:

This is the link for generated java classses

Generated Java Classes

And follwing is the unmarshalling code for xml with validation against xsd.

import java.io.File;
import javax.xml.XMLConstants;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBException;
import javax.xml.bind.Unmarshaller;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import javax.xml.validation.Schema;
import javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory;

import org.xml.sax.SAXException;

import com.piyush.STDMP;


public class Test {

    /**
     * @param args
     * @throws JAXBException 
     * @throws SAXException 
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws JAXBException, SAXException {
        JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(STDMP.class);
        SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
        Schema schema = factory.newSchema(new StreamSource(new File("C:/Users/CDAC/workspace/Testing/src/STD_MP.xsd")));
        Unmarshaller jaxbUnmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
        jaxbUnmarshaller.setSchema(schema);
        STDMP ts = (STDMP)jaxbUnmarshaller.unmarshal(new File("E:/Testing.xml"));

        System.out.println(ts.getCoordSystems());
        System.out.println(ts.getEDocument());

    }

     }

Please change the xsd and xml location according to your machine.
