给定Java类型，是否可以获取XSD类型？

Question

I'm working with JavaTypes and I want to transform a JavaType to XsdType. I did not found a simple way to do this, and finally created an method that given a JavaType returns the associated XsdType.

Example:

toXsdType(String.class.getName()); --> "xsd:string"

In order to achieve this, I'm doing an UGLY switch statement.

Is there a clean way to do it, using JAXB or another library?

Answer 1

You might be interested in TypeInfoSet.getTypeInfo(T type) which gives you an XML type for the given Java type.

As for the TypeInfoSet , you can obtain it via JAXBContextImpl.getTypeInfoSet() .

So basically the whole process would look like:

• Create an instance of JAXBContext with RI, cast it to JAXBContextImpl .
• Get a TypeInfoSet .
• Get a NonElement for your Java type.
• Get the QName using NonElement.getTypeName() .
