35 * Maps a factory method to a XML element.
36 *
37 * <p> <b>Usage</b> </p>
38 *
39 * The annotation creates a mapping between an XML schema element
40 * declaration and a <i> element factory method </i> that returns a
41 * JAXBElement instance representing the element
42 * declaration. Typically, the element factory method is generated
43 * (and annotated) from a schema into the ObjectFactory class in a
44 * Java package that represents the binding of the element
45 * declaration's target namespace. Thus, while the annotation syntax
46 * allows &#64;XmlElementDecl to be used on any method, semantically
47 * its use is restricted to annotation of element factory method.
48 *
49 * The usage is subject to the following constraints:
50 *
51 * <ul>
52 * <li> The class containing the element factory method annotated
53 * with &#64;XmlElementDecl must be marked with {@link
54 * XmlRegistry}. </li>
55 * <li> The element factory method must take one parameter
56 * assignable to {@link Object}.</li>
57 * </ul>
58 *
59 * <p><b>Example 1: </b>Annotation on a factory method
60 * <pre>
61 * // Example: code fragment
62 * &#64;XmlRegistry
63 * class ObjectFactory {
64 * &#64;XmlElementDecl(name="foo")
65 * JAXBElement&lt;String> createFoo(String s) { ... }
66 * }
67 * </pre>
68 * <pre>
69 * &lt;!-- XML input -->
70 * &lt;foo>string</foo>
71 *
72 * // Example: code fragment corresponding to XML input
73 * JAXBElement<String> o =
74 * (JAXBElement<String>)unmarshaller.unmarshal(aboveDocument);
75 * // print JAXBElement instance to show values
76 * System.out.println(o.getName()); // prints "{}foo"
77 * System.out.println(o.getValue()); // prints "string"
78 * System.out.println(o.getValue().getClass()); // prints "java.lang.String"
79 *
80 * &lt;!-- Example: XML schema definition -->
81 * &lt;xs:element name="foo" type="xs:string"/>
82 * </pre>
83 *
84 * <p><b>Example 2: </b> Element declaration with non local scope
85 * <p>
86 * The following example illustrates the use of scope annotation
87 * parameter in binding of element declaration in schema derived
88 * code.
89 * <p>
90 * The following example may be replaced in a future revision of
91 * this javadoc.
92 *
93 * <pre>
94 * &lt;!-- Example: XML schema definition -->
95 * &lt;xs:schema>
96 * &lt;xs:complexType name="pea">
97 * &lt;xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
98 * &lt;xs:element name="foo" type="xs:string"/>
99 * &lt;xs:element name="bar" type="xs:string"/>
100 * &lt;/xs:choice>
101 * &lt;/xs:complexType>
102 * &lt;xs:element name="foo" type="xs:int"/>
103 * &lt;/xs:schema>
104 * </pre>
105 * <pre>
106 * // Example: expected default binding
107 * class Pea {
108 * &#64;XmlElementRefs({
109 * &#64;XmlElementRef(name="foo",type=JAXBElement.class)
110 * &#64;XmlElementRef(name="bar",type=JAXBElement.class)
111 * })
112 * List&lt;JAXBElement&lt;String>> fooOrBar;
113 * }
114 *
115 * &#64;XmlRegistry
116 * class ObjectFactory {
117 * &#64;XmlElementDecl(scope=Pea.class,name="foo")
118 * JAXBElement<String> createPeaFoo(String s);
119 *
120 * &#64;XmlElementDecl(scope=Pea.class,name="bar")
121 * JAXBElement<String> createPeaBar(String s);
122 *
123 * &#64;XmlElementDecl(name="foo")
124 * JAXBElement<Integer> createFoo(Integer i);
125 * }
126 *
127 * </pre>
128 * Without scope createFoo and createPeaFoo would become ambiguous
129 * since both of them map to a XML schema element with the same local
130 * name "foo".
