`jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBContext` properties and `/META-INF/services/jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBContext`
resource file
* added Jakarta XML Binding implementation lookup through the properties `Map`
passed to `JAXBContext.newInstance` methods
* dropped requirement on compatibility with JAXB 1.0
=== Changes in Version 3

* Customization schema namespace changed to `https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jaxb`,
minimal supported version set to `3.0`.
* Relaxed requirements tight to JAXB 1.0
* Removed inclusion in Java SE from specification goals
=== Changes since Maintenance Release 2
* Section 4.2 added note related to Java Platform Module System.
* Added section 4.9 Implementation discovery.
* Added change logs for MR1 and MR2.
=== Changes since Maintenance Release 1
Details can be found at:
_https://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/maintenance/jsr222/222mr2.zip_
* Section 8.9.1.1 @XmlElement target extended for type PARAMETER
* Section 8.9.3.1 added required annotation element to @XmlElementRef
=== Changes since Final Draft
Details can be found at:
https://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/maintenance/jsr222/222changes.txt
* Section 7.1.3 External Binding Declaration @schemaLocation and @node are optional.
* Section E.2 3 and 3b updated.
* Section 3.5.2.1 constraint violation updated JAXB 2.0 implementation
delegate to the validation API in JAXP 1.3.
=== Changes since Proposed Final Draft

customization [ _jaxb:nameXmlTransform]_ addition of prefix and/or
suffix after XML to Java name transformation is applied.
* Section 6.7.1-2 changed to allow generation
of element factory method for abstract element. Change was necessary to
support element substitution. The abstract element factory method is
generated so it can be annotated with JAXB program annotation that
enables element substitution, _@XmlElementDecl.substitutionHeadName_ .
* Section 7.7.3.5 fixed the example with
<class> customization. Made the corresponding change in Section 6.7.2 so
Objectfactory method creates an instance of generated class.

@XmlJavaTypeAdapter on class, interface or enum type is mutually
exclusive with any other annotation.
* Chapter 8: added @XmlElement.required() for
schema generation
* Section 8.7.1.2: clarifications for no-arg
static factory method in @XmlType annotation.
* Section 8.9.13.2: Disallow use of @XmlList
on single valued property.
* Section 8.9.8.2, Table 8-30 :
@XmlAnyAttribute maps to anyAttribute with a namespace constraint with
##other.
* Section 8.9.1.2: If @XmlElement.namespace()
is different from that of the target namespace of the enclosing class,
require a global element to be generated in the namespace specified in
@XmlElement.namespace() to make the generated schema complete.
* Section 8.9.15: Allow @XmlMimeType on a
parameter.
* Section 8.9.16: Allow @XmlAttachmentRef on
a parameter.
* Chapter 8: removed constraint check that
namespace() annotation element must be a valid namespace URI from
different annotations.
* Chapter 8: Java Persistence and JAXB 2.0
alignment related changes. +
constructor requirement: public or protected no-arg constructor +
@AccessType renamed to @XmlAccessType. +
@AccessorOrder renamed to @XmlAccessOrder. +
@XmlTransient is mutually exclusive with other annotations. +
@A property or field that is transient or marked with @XmlTransient and
specified in @XmlType.propOrder is an error.
* Chapter 8: Clarifications for generics -
type variables with type bound, bounded wildcards and java.util.Map.
* Section 8.9: reworked constraints on the
properties to handle different use cases permitted by JavaBean design
pattern.
* Section 8: Take elementFormDefault into
account when determining the namespace for @XmlElement and
@XmlElementWrapper annotations.
* Section 8: Added missing mapping
constraints for @XmlElementWrapper. Also disallow use of @XmlIDREF with
@XmlElementWrapper.
* Chapter 9, “Compatibility”: clarified
schema generator and schema compiler requirements.
* Section B.2.5: Added marshalling of null
value as xsi:nil or empty element based upon @XmlElement.required and
@XmlElement.nillable annotation elements.
* Section B.5: Added new section and moved
runtime requirements on getters/setters to here.
=== Changes since Public Review

to java.util.Map and java.util.Collection.
* Appendix B. Incorporate event call backs
into unmarshalling process.
* Appendix B: Incorporate into unmarshalling
process additional unmarshal methods: Binder.unmarshal(..), unmarshal
methods that take a declaredType as a parameter - Binder.unmarshal(...,
declaredType) and Unmarshaller.unmarshal(...,declaredType).

throws _JAXBException_ .
* Added customizations +
[jaxb:globalBindings] @generateValueClass, @generateElementClass,
@serializable, @optionalProperty, @nullInCollection +
[jaxb:property] @generateElementProperty
* Add binding support for redefine
* Simplified following bindings: +

signatures and element factory method(support element/type substitution)
* Changes required for default and customized
binding in order to support flexible unmarshalling described in Section
4.4.3.
* Java to XSD Binding
* Added @XmlAccessorType for controlling
whether fields or properties are mapped by default.
* Added @XmlEnum and @XmlEnumValue for

the package.
* Moved default mapping from each section to
“Default Mapping” section.
* Consistent treatment of defaults
“##default”

is deferring its databinding to JAXB 2.0.
=== Changes for 2.0 +
Early Draft v0.4
* Updated <<Introduction>>.
* Added <<Requirements>>
* Added <<Java Types To XML>> for Java Source to XML Schema mapping.
* XML Schema to schema-derived Java Binding
changes
* Element handling changes to support element
and type substitution in <<Java Element Representation Summary>>,
<<Element Declaration>> and <<Element Property>>.
* Added <<Attribute Wildcard>> binding
* Support binding all wildcard content in
<<Bind wildcard schema component>>.
* Addition/changes in
<<Java Mapping for XML Schema Built-in Types>>.
* XML Schema to Java Customization
* Added ability to doable databinding for an
XML Schema fragment in <<dom-declaration>>.
=== Changes for 1.0 Final
* Added method
_jakarta.xml.bind.Marshaller.getNode(Object)_ which returns a DOM view of
the Java content tree. See method's javadoc for details.
=== Changes for Proposed Final
* Added <<Compatibility>>.
* Section 5.9.2, “General Content Property,”
removed value content list since it would not be tractable to support
when type and group substitution are supported by JAXB technology.
* Added the ability to associate
implementation specific property/value pairs to the unmarshal,
validation and JAXB instance creation. Changes impact Section 3.4
“Unmarshalling,” Section 3.5 “Validator” and the ObjectFactory
description in Section 4.2 “Java Package.”
* Section 6.12.10.1, “Bind a Top Level Choice
Model Group” was updated to handle Collection properties occurring
within a Choice value class.
* Section 6.12.11, “Model Group binding
algorithm” changed step 4(a) to bind to choice value class rather than
choice content property.
* <<List Property>> and <<isset-property-modifier>>
updated so one can discard set value for a List property via calling
unset method.
* At end of Section 4, added an UML diagram
of the JAXB Java representation of XML content.
* Updated default binding handling in
<<Model Group Definition>>. Specifically,
value class, element classes and enum types are derived from the content
model of a model group definition are only bound once, not once per time
the group is referenced.
* Change <<Bind wildcard schema component>>, to bind to a JAXB property with a
basetype of _java.lang.Object,_ not _jakarta.xml.bind.Element._ Strict and
lax wildcard validation processing allows for contents constrained only
by _xsi:type_ attribute. Current APIs should allow for future support of
_xsi:type_ .
* Simplify anonymous simple type definition
binding to typesafe enum class. Replace incomplete approach to derive a
name with the requirement that the @name attribute for element
typesafeEnumClass is mandatory when associated with an anonymous simple
type definition.
* Changed <<Deriving Class Names for Named Model Group Descendants>>
to state that all classes and interfaces generated for XML Schema component that
directly compose the content model for a model group, that these
classes/interfaces should be generated once as top-level interface/class
in a package, not in every content model that references the model
group.
* Current <<globalbindings-declaration>>:
* Replaced _modelGroupAsClass_ with
_bindingStyle_ .
* Specified schema types that cannot be
listed in _typesafeEnumBase_ .
* <<property-declaration>>:
* Clarified the customization of model groups
with respect to _choiceContentProperty, elementBinding and
modelGroupBinding._ Dropped _choiceContentProperty_ from the
_<property>_ declaration.
* Added _<baseType>_ element and clarified
semantics.
* Added support for customization of simple
content.
* Added customization of simple types at
point of reference.
* Clarified restrictions and relationships
between different customizations.
* <<javatype-declaration>>:
* Added
_jakarta.xml.bind.DatatypeConverterInterface_ interface.
* Added _jakarta.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter_
class for use by user specified parse and print methods.
* Added
_javax.xml.namespace.NamespaceContext_ class for processing of QNames.
* Clarified print and parse method
requirements.
* Added narrowing and widening conversion
requirements.
* Throughout <<Customizing XML Schema to Java Representation Binding>>,
clarified the handling of invalid customizations.
=== Changes for Public Draft 2
Many changes were prompted by inconsistencies
detected within the specification by the reference implementation
effort. Change bars indicate what has changed since Public Draft.
* Section 4.5.4, “isSetProperty Modifier,”
describes the customization required to enable its methods to he
generated.
* Section 5.7.2, “Binding of an anonymous
type definition,” clarifies the generation of value class and typesafe
enum classes from an anonymous type definition.
* Section 5.2.4, “List” Simple Type
Definition and the handling of list members within a union were added
since public draft.
* Clarification on typesafe enum global
customization “generateName” in Section 5.2.3.4, “XML Enumvalue
To Java Identifier Mapping.”
* Clarification of handling binding of
wildcard content in Section 5.9.4.
* Chapter6, “Customization,” resolved binding
declaration naming inconsistencies between specification and normative
binding schema.
* removed _enableValidation_ attribute (a
duplicate of _enableFailFastCheck)_ from < _globalBindings>_
declaration.
* Added default values for <
_globalBindings>_ declaration attributes.
* Changed _typesafeEnumBase_ to a list of
QNames. Clarified the binding to typesafe enum class.
* Clarified the usage and support for
_implClass_ attribute in _<class>_ declaration.
* Clarified the usage and support for
_enableFailFastCheck_ in the _<property>_ declaration.
* Added _<javadoc>_ to typesafe enum class,
member and property declarations.
* Mention that embedded HTML tags in
_<javadoc>_ declaration must be escaped.
* Fixed mistakes in derived Java code
throughout document.
* Added Section 7. Compatibility and updated
Appendix E.2 “Non required XML Schema Concepts” accordingly.
=== Changes for Public Draft
* <<Bind single occurrence choice group to a choice content property>>,
replaced overloading of choice content property setter method with a single
setter method with a value parameter with the common type of all members
of the choice. Since the resolution of overloaded method invocation is
performed using compile-time typing, not runtime typing, this
overloading was problematic. Same change was made to binding of union
types.
* Added details on how to construct factory
method signature for nested content and element classes.
* Section 3.3, default validation handler
does not fail on first warning, only on first error or fatal error.
* Add ID/IDREF handling in section 5.
* Updated name mapping in appendix C.
* <<Indexed Property>>, added getIDLenth() to indexed property.
* Removed ObjectFactory.setImplementation
method from <<Java Package>>. The negative
impact on implementation provided to be greater than the benefit it
provided the user.
* Introduced external binding declaration
format.
* Introduced a method to introduce extension
binding declarations.
* Added an appendix section describing JAXB
custom bindings that align JAXB binding with JAX-RPC binding from XML to
Java representation.
* Generate isID() accessor for boolean
property.
* Section 6, Customization has been
substantially rewritten.
