Introduction

The JDK provides a tool that can turn schema documents into representative Java class files.

Use the <JDK_HOME>/bin/xjc command-line tool to generate Java bindings for your XML schemas. 

xjc -p org.mymodule.chapter20.recipe20_5 patients.xsd

The patients.xsd file looks like the following: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified"> 
<xs:element name="patients"> 
<xs:complexType> 
<xs:sequence> 
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="patient" type="Patient"/> 
</xs:sequence> 
</xs:complexType> 
</xs:element> 
<xs:complexType name="Patient"> 
<xs:sequence> 
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/> 
<xs:element name="diagnosis" type="xs:string"/> 
</xs:sequence> 
<xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:integer" use="required"/> 
</xs:complexType> 
</xs:schema>

You can get descriptions of all the command-line options by using the tools -help option: 

xjc -help
