Using JAXB?

[Bartolo Almeda]

Does anyone know how to use JAXB withouth using all this Sun JWSDK? I just want to use JAXB.

JAXB is part of the Sun Java Web Services Developer Pack. Within the pack are separate sections for jaxb, jaxp, jaxm, jax-rpc, jstl, and saaj. Each section has its own jars. You can pick and choose the code you want to use from these sections, but there may be some dependencies between them. For example, when last working with JAXB I needed to include the JAXB and SAAJ jars, but not any of the jars from the other sections. I have not heard of any non-Sun JAXB implementations - please let me know if anyone else has.

Have you tried just working with the jar files shipped in lib directory of JAXB directory.

When we use JAXB, we use the following jars at runtime:
jaxb-api.jar
jaxb-impl.jar
jaxb-libs.jar
jax-qname.jar
namespace.jar
relaxngDatatype.jar
xsdlib.jar
I didn't do any of the JAXB work here, so I can't say much more. But, if you add them all in, then your app will work. (note - you need the jaxb-xjc jar to generate your classes)
