The mr-jaxb-mapping.xml file defines the configuration of the Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) for context values defined in the MR application.
That binding is used for handling SOAP requests.
File location
The file is located in the folder mr-application\src\main\resources.
JAXB implementation requirements
In ActivePivot, a particular “enhanced” JAXB implementation is used, which relies on JAXBIntroductions.
It enables configuring JAXB serialization through XML configuration files instead of the traditional way of using annotations in the Java code. Thus, you can decouple the Java implementation from the serialization logic.
Each class you want to equip with support for JAXB serialization requires at least:
a no-arg constructor
a setter for each field that shall be mapped with an XML attribute ()
Here is an excerpt of the code of the VaRConfidenceLevel class as an example:
In the mr-jaxb-mapping.xml file you can define the paths to your various JAXB custom configurations.
In this example, we define the mapping related to the VaR confidence level context value object:
The file contains the JAXB configuration for the context values present in the Market Risk Accelerator.
They are defined similar to the example for the VaR confidence level context value object shown in JAXB implementation requirements.
