JAXB creating context and marshallers cost

Question

The question is a bit theoretical, what is the cost of creating JAXB context, marshaller and unmarshaller?

I\'ve found that my code could benefit from keeping the sa

Answer 1

Even better!! Based on the good solution from the post above, create the context just-once in the constructor, and save it instead of the class.

Replace the line:

  private Class clazz;

with this one:

  private JAXBContext jc;

And the main constructor with this one:

  private Jaxb(Class clazz)
  {
     this.jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(clazz);
  }

so in the getMarshaller/getUnmarshaller you can remove this line:

  JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(clazz);

This improvement makes, in my case, that processing times drops from 60~70ms to just 5~10ms
