JAXBResult cannot be initialized with target type #690

Open glassfishrobot opened 14 years ago

glassfishrobot commented 14 years ago

If I want to unmarshal an XML document on to a class that doesn't have the @XmlRootElement annotation, then I can use unmarshaller.unmarshal(source, Class) to tell it which type to bind to, and it'll return me a JAXBElement for that type.

However, if I want to use JAXBResult to pipe a transform on to the same type, I have no such option. JAXBResult gets a UnmarshallerHandler from the Unmarshaller, but there's no mechanism for passing in the target type. And so, JAXBResult can only target @XmlRootElement-annotated clases, which severely limits its usefulness.

WOuld it be possible to have JAXBResult modified so that I can construct it with a JAXBContext, plus a target type?

JAXBResult result = new JAXBResult(context, MyClass.class); // perform transform on to result JAXBElement output = result.getResult();
