Three main tasks :

This part will be devoted to the change from jaxb to XMLBeans.
In order to test that XMLBeans works under Jigsaw we 'll install jigsaw server and run several tests.
You can see the jigsaw installation further in the page.

Installing XMLBeans to replace Jaxb

First why XMLBeans?
Here are some answers :  Xml parsers test suite
As it passes quite all the test we were confirmed by Yves that XMLBeans would be suitable in order to solve the jigsaw problems.
We had considered the XGEN parser for same reasons but as XMLBeans were more documented and known by the team here at W3C we decided to take it.


 Here is the guide to install XMLBeans
 Here is the help for the eclipse plugin
This plugin can't enable the download of the import in the schema xsd. You'd better use the scomp command to generate the java classes.
 Here is some practice to test XMLBeans
Personally as we already have some tasklist and observers schemas we'll use them to test under jigsaw.
There might be a problem with classloader as you can see  here

We could install and launch XMLBeans. We could generate the classes using the command:

scomp -dl -src ../generated observer-response.xsd
scomp -dl -src ../generated tasklist.xsd

We'll now create a servlet to test XMLBeans under jigsaw, we'll only perform simple things to test it.
We created a test servlet parsing an old-version tasklist to print out the id.

We have to write the new schema for the tasklist. You can see it in attached files.

XMLBeans didn't work!!! The class loader problem occured and we couldn't even launch it in standalone conf


survivor ideas : castor, XGen

Installing Jigsaw

Download the appropriate version of Jigsaw on  http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/

On Windows :
- Setup : go to scripts and click on install.bat
- Server launch : still in the scripts directory, launch jigsaw.bat . The command window should print the URL you'll have to enter in your browser.

On Unix :
- Setup : run the following command : scripts/install.sh
- Server launch : run : scripts/jigsaw.sh
