Apache XMLBeans

Apache XMLBeans sets up an intermediary medium for mapping the rich data structures that can be contained in XML documents.

This data is mapped to a Java types and can be accessed via regular Java classes.

The general idea is to allow developers a native Java medium for accessing this data, complete with support for its schema, DOM and infoset.

XMLBeans can handle XML trees, XPath and XQuery expressions, can validate XML data against a schema, and many other more.

The project comes with a few basic examples to show developers how it can be implemented and a whole lot of documentation.

What is new in this release:

• Added new XML option CopyUseNewSynchronizationDomain used for copy.
• Entitize \r when not in pretty print, this helps with maintainig \r entities.
• Fixed validation of integer value containing dot char.
• Fixed chars in comments to avoid errors in IntelliJ under Linux.
• Updated durations to latest spec.
• Fixed for compiling schema that contains complex type with simple content that has facets defined in the base simple type
• Fix for Piccolo lexer when read method returns 0.
• Fix to preserve the CDATA bookmarks when copy from one xmlobject to another.
• Fixed bug when resizing circular buffer in saver's output stream implementation.
• Fixed for bug when not specifing type for a particle in derived schema type and when minOccurs is 0.
• Fixed error messages when contain base and derived type names.
• Introducing a default maximum entity replacement limit of 10kb, it can be controled by using the option XmlOptions.setLoadEntityBytesLimit.
• Fixed javadoc for inst2xsd and xsd2inst tools.
• Fixed NPE in SchemaTypeImpl.getEnumJavaClass().
• Added multiple entry points and refactored code for xsd2inst code.
• Removed org.w3c.dom files from xbean.jar.
• Added another xpath and xquery interface implementation.
• Added src/xmlinputstream classes org.apache.xmlbeans.xml.stream.* to xmlpublic.jar.
• Made bootstrap run twice to avoid GUMP error emails.
• Fix for bug XMLBEANS-396: GML 3.1.1 generated code fails to compile.
• Fix for bug XMLBEANS-412: Pattern facet regex requires dash - to be escaped.

What is new in version 2.5.0:

• Exit codes for InstanceValidator.
• Decimal precision handling fix in xsd2inst.
• Option to perform additional, stricter Schema validation checks: XMLBEANS-350 updated pattern for dayTimeDuration.
• Extended year min/max value limitations.
• Support for date and time types with hour 24.
• NOTATION built-in type.
