public abstract class JAXBIntrospector extends Object
 Intially, the intent of this class is to just conceptualize how
 a JAXB application developer can access xml binding information,
 independent if binding model is java to schema or schema to java.
 Since accessing the XML element name related to a JAXB element is
 a highly requested feature, demonstrate access to this
 binding information.
 The factory method to get a JAXBIntrospector instance is
 JAXBContext.createJAXBIntrospector().
JAXBContext.createJAXBIntrospector()| Constructor and Description | 
|---|
| JAXBIntrospector() | 
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| abstract QName | getElementName(Object jaxbElement)Get xml element qname for  jaxbElement. | 
| static Object | getValue(Object jaxbElement)Get the element value of a JAXB element. | 
| abstract boolean | isElement(Object object)Return true if  objectrepresents a JAXB element. | 
public abstract boolean isElement(Object object)
Return true if object represents a JAXB element.
Parameter object is a JAXB element for following cases:
 
javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement.object is annotated with
       @XmlRootElement.
   getElementName(Object)public abstract QName getElementName(Object jaxbElement)
Get xml element qname for jaxbElement.
jaxbElement - is an object that isElement(Object) returned true.jaxbElement is not a JAXB Element.public static Object getValue(Object jaxbElement)
Get the element value of a JAXB element.
Convenience method to abstract whether working with either a javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement instance or an instance of @XmlRootElement annotated Java class.
jaxbElement - object that #isElement(Object) returns true.jaxbElement. Submit a bug or feature
