Description Blaise Doughan

2011-03-09 10:50:04 EST

A mechanism is required to add a mapping to an XMLDescriptor at runtime.  

Design considerations:
- This mechanism needs to be compatible with marshal/unmarshal operations that may be occuring simultaneously with the metadata modifications.
- The API should be consistent with JAXB/MOXy metadata concepts

Future extensions include:
- Modification of a mapping
- Removal of a mapping

Additional Requirement:
- This feature must also be supported by Dynamic JAXB

Design Consideration:  The API should be consistent with JAXB/MOXy metadata concepts

The model objects used to read the XML metadata could be leveraged to allow the user to specify JAXB/MOXy metadata at runtime:

    XmlAttribute xmlAttribute = new XmlAttribute();
    xmlAttribute.setJavaAttribute("type");
    xmlAttribute.setType("java.lang.Integer");

This behaviour will be covered by the following enhancement:
