JAX-B

This exam is focused on the version 2.0 of the JAXB API.
This exam assumes that the exam taker has a good knowledge of XML-Schemas and the XML- Technology. Most of the questions uses Schemas, but there are not questions which covers schema details.
This is addressed in another exam.
Note that there are no questions about specific implementations.
Note that minimal XPath knowledge is required to define extern binding declarations, but there should be no XPath specific questions on the exam.
There are only questions about features which are describes in the specification provided by Sun Microsystems(C).

Write code to read POJOS from an URL object. Use the JAXBElement to unmarshal objects from an XML file that uses type substitution. Unmarshal POJOs that are not XMLRootElements. Unmarshal only parts of a xml document to POJOS. Identify the behavior of the Unmarshaller if it uses flexible marshaling.	0	34	0	Add a question Beta questions
Validation 2 questions Use a Schema on both the Marshaller and the Unmarshaller component. Write code that uses the class ValidationEvent to detect errors and failures. Write code that defines own ValidationEventHandler classes. Identify the fact that a FATAL_ERROR should always lead to the cancelation of the processing process.
