XML Schema and JAXB

[Joe San]

Guys,

I do not understand one thing from the tutorials that I see from SUN is that to use JAXB, we need only a Schema defined and from the schema, we derive the Java sources. From where do the XML come from? As far as I understood, from the Java Sources we can marshall it to an XML document. Am I right?

I'm referring to the tutorial here.

Can anyone please help me on how I can represent a Collection type in an XML Schema? For example, I have in my Java class (I'm using JAXB) as follows,

public class TestVO {
 
private String name;
 
private Collection<String> books;
 
other getters and setters for the above variables...
 
}

How can I represent the above Collection variable in an XML schema?
