  * <b>Marshalling content tree rooted by a JAXB element</b><br>

  * <blockquote>

  * The first parameter of the overloaded

  * <tt>Marshaller.marshal(java.lang.Object, ...)</tt> methods must be a

  * JAXB element as computed by

  * {@link JAXBIntrospector#isElement(java.lang.Object)};

  * otherwise, a <tt>Marshaller.marshal</tt> method must throw a

  * {@link MarshalException}. There exist two mechanisms

  * to enable marshalling an instance that is not a JAXB element.

  * One method is to wrap the instance as a value of a {@link JAXBElement},

  * and pass the wrapper element as the first parameter to

  * a <tt>Marshaller.marshal</tt> method. For java to schema binding, it

  * is also possible to simply annotate the instance's class with

  * @{@link XmlRootElement}.

  * </blockquote>

  *

  * <p>

  * <b>Encoding</b><br>

  * <blockquote>

  * By default, the Marshaller will use UTF-8 encoding when generating XML data

  * to a <tt>java.io.OutputStream</tt>, or a <tt>java.io.Writer</tt>.  Use the

  * {@link #setProperty(String,Object) setProperty} API to change the output

  * encoding used during these marshal operations.  Client applications are

  * expected to supply a valid character encoding name as defined in the

  * <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#charencoding">W3C XML 1.0

  * Recommendation</a> and supported by your Java Platform</a>.

  * </blockquote>

  *

  * <p>

  * <b>Validation and Well-Formedness</b><br>

  * <blockquote>

  * <p>

  * Client applications are not required to validate the Java content tree prior

  * to calling any of the marshal API's.  Furthermore, there is no requirement

  * that the Java content tree be valid with respect to its original schema in

  * order to marshal it back into XML data.  Different JAXB Providers will

  * support marshalling invalid Java content trees at varying levels, however

  * all JAXB Providers must be able to marshal a valid content tree back to

  * XML data.  A JAXB Provider must throw a <tt>MarshalException</tt> when it

  * is unable to complete the marshal operation due to invalid content.  Some

  * JAXB Providers will fully allow marshalling invalid content, others will fail

  * on the first validation error.

  * <p>

  * Even when schema validation is not explictly enabled for the marshal operation,

  * it is possible that certain types of validation events will be detected

  * during the operation.  Validation events will be reported to the registered

  * event handler.  If the client application has not registered an event handler

  * prior to invoking one of the marshal API's, then events will be delivered to

  * a default event handler which will terminate the marshal operation after

  * encountering the first error or fatal error. Note that for JAXB 2.0 and

  * later versions, {@link javax.xml.bind.helpers.DefaultValidationEventHandler} is

  * no longer used.

  *

  * <a name="supportedProps"></a>

  * <b>Supported Properties</b><br>

  * <blockquote>

  * <p>

  * All JAXB Providers are required to support the following set of properties.

  * Some providers may support additional properties.

  * <dl>

  *   <dt><tt>jaxb.encoding</tt> - value must be a java.lang.String</dt>

  *   <dd>The output encoding to use when marshalling the XML data.  The

  *               Marshaller will use "UTF-8" by default if this property is not

  *       specified.</dd>

  *   <dt><tt>jaxb.formatted.output</tt> - value must be a java.lang.Boolean</dt>

  *   <dd>This property controls whether or not the Marshaller will format

  *       the resulting XML data with line breaks and indentation.  A

  *       true value for this property indicates human readable indented

  *       xml data, while a false value indicates unformatted xml data.

  *       The Marshaller will default to false (unformatted) if this

  *       property is not specified.</dd>

  *   <dt><tt>jaxb.schemaLocation</tt> - value must be a java.lang.String</dt>

  *   <dd>This property allows the client application to specify an

  *       xsi:schemaLocation attribute in the generated XML data.  The format of

  *       the schemaLocation attribute value is discussed in an easy to

  *       understand, non-normative form in

  *       <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#schemaLocation">Section 5.6

  *       of the W3C XML Schema Part 0: Primer</a> and specified in

  *       <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#Instance_Document_Constructions">

  *       Section 2.6 of the W3C XML Schema Part 1: Structures</a>.</dd>

  *   <dt><tt>jaxb.noNamespaceSchemaLocation</tt> - value must be a java.lang.String</dt>

  *   <dd>This property allows the client application to specify an

  *       xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attribute in the generated XML

  *       data.  The format of the schemaLocation attribute value is discussed in

  *       an easy to understand, non-normative form in

  *       <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#schemaLocation">Section 5.6

  *       of the W3C XML Schema Part 0: Primer</a> and specified in

  *       <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#Instance_Document_Constructions">

  *       Section 2.6 of the W3C XML Schema Part 1: Structures</a>.</dd>

  *   <dt><tt>jaxb.fragment</tt> - value must be a java.lang.Boolean</dt>

  *   <dd>This property determines whether or not document level events will be

  *       generated by the Marshaller.  If the property is not specified, the

  *       default is <tt>false</tt>. This property has different implications depending

  *       on which marshal api you are using - when this property is set to true:<br>

  *       <ul>

  *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,org.xml.sax.ContentHandler) marshal(Object,ContentHandler)} - the Marshaller won't

  *             invoke {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler#startDocument()} and

  *             {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler#endDocument()}.</li>

  *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,org.w3c.dom.Node) marshal(Object,Node)} - the property has no effect on this

  *             API.</li>

  *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,java.io.OutputStream) marshal(Object,OutputStream)} - the Marshaller won't

  *             generate an xml declaration.</li>

  *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,java.io.Writer) marshal(Object,Writer)} - the Marshaller won't

  *             generate an xml declaration.</li>

  *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,javax.xml.transform.Result) marshal(Object,Result)} - depends on the kind of

  *             Result object, see semantics for Node, ContentHandler, and Stream APIs</li>

  *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,javax.xml.stream.XMLEventWriter) marshal(Object,XMLEventWriter)} - the

  *             Marshaller will not generate {@link javax.xml.stream.events.XMLEvent#START_DOCUMENT} and

  *             {@link javax.xml.stream.events.XMLEvent#END_DOCUMENT} events.</li>

  *         <li>{@link #marshal(Object,javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter) marshal(Object,XMLStreamWriter)} - the

  *             Marshaller will not generate {@link javax.xml.stream.events.XMLEvent#START_DOCUMENT} and

  *             {@link javax.xml.stream.events.XMLEvent#END_DOCUMENT} events.</li>

  *       </ul>

  *   </dd>

  * </dl>

  * </blockquote>

  *

  * <p>

  * <a name="marshalEventCallback"></a>

  * <b>Marshal Event Callbacks</b><br>

  * <blockquote>

  * "The {@link Marshaller} provides two styles of callback mechanisms

  * that allow application specific processing during key points in the

  * unmarshalling process.  In 'class defined' event callbacks, application

  * specific code placed in JAXB mapped classes is triggered during

  * marshalling.  'External listeners' allow for centralized processing

  * of marshal events in one callback method rather than by type event callbacks.

  *

  * <p>

  * Class defined event callback methods allow any JAXB mapped class to specify

  * its own specific callback methods by defining methods with the following method signatures:

  * <blockquote>

  * <pre>

  *   // Invoked by Marshaller after it has created an instance of this object.

  *   boolean beforeMarshal(Marshaller);

  *

  *   // Invoked by Marshaller after it has marshalled all properties of this object.

  *   void afterMarshal(Marshaller);

  * </pre>

  * </blockquote>

  * The class defined event callback methods should be used when the callback method requires

  * access to non-public methods and/or fields of the class.

  * <p>

  * The external listener callback mechanism enables the registration of a {@link Listener}

  * instance with a {@link Marshaller#setListener(Listener)}. The external listener receives all callback events,

  * allowing for more centralized processing than per class defined callback methods.

  * <p>

  * The 'class defined' and external listener event callback methods are independent of each other,

  * both can be called for one event. The invocation ordering when both listener callback methods exist is

  * defined in {@link Listener#beforeMarshal(Object)} and {@link Listener#afterMarshal(Object)}.

  * <p>

  * An event callback method throwing an exception terminates the current marshal process.
