public interface UnmarshallerHandler extends ContentHandler
Applications can use this interface to use their JAXB provider as a component in an XML pipeline. For example:
       JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance( "org.acme.foo" );
       Unmarshaller unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();
       UnmarshallerHandler unmarshallerHandler = unmarshaller.getUnmarshallerHandler();
       SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
       spf.setNamespaceAware( true );
       XMLReader xmlReader = spf.newSAXParser().getXMLReader();
       xmlReader.setContentHandler( unmarshallerHandler );
       xmlReader.parse(new InputSource( new FileInputStream( XML_FILE ) ) );
       MyObject myObject= (MyObject)unmarshallerHandler.getResult();
 
 This interface is reusable: even if the user fails to unmarshal an object, s/he can still start a new round of unmarshalling.
Unmarshaller.getUnmarshallerHandler()| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |

characters, endDocument, endElement, endPrefixMapping, ignorableWhitespace, processingInstruction, setDocumentLocator, skippedEntity, startDocument, startElement, startPrefixMappingObject getResult() throws JAXBException, IllegalStateException
IllegalStateException - if this method is called before this handler
      receives the endDocument event.JAXBException - if there is any unmarshalling error.
      Note that the implementation is allowed to throw SAXException
      during the parsing when it finds an error. Submit a bug or feature
