How to marshall a number of generated classes into a single XML file

[Mike Cheung]

Hi, I have used the "xjc" tool feeding it 3 XSD files and it generates a list of classes like...
Class1.java
Class2.java
.....
ObjectFactory.java

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be using the ObjectFactory to create all the classes, because I am able to do something like the following. Looking inside the ObjectFactory class it appears to be doing the same thing anyway. So I continue to create classes to build the XML model I want to marshall out.

Class1 class1 = new Class1();

Towards the end of the code after I have done all the class generation, I have the following block of code but it's giving me the error that follows. Can someone please let me know what I have done wrong? Thanks.

        try {
            // create JAXB context and instantiate marshaller
            File file = new File("C:\\Users\\file.xml");
            JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance("tool.csvreformat");
            Marshaller m = context.createMarshaller();
            m.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, Boolean.TRUE);
            m.marshal(objectFactory, file);
        } catch (JAXBException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(toolcsvreformat.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

Could you please provide a sample xml and how you are generating from xjc? If possible, provide the complete code sample.

Let me try.

//m.marshal(objectFactory, file);   
//if class1 is the one that eventually marshalled to document root
m.marshal(class1, file);
