How can I have JAXB call a method after it has completed unmarshalling an XML file into an object?

Question

I am using JAXB to unmarshall an XML file into a Java object -- standard stuff. Once JAXB has completed this, I\'d like a method to be called on the newly created object.

Answer 1

To be able to execute code after unmarshalling took place, you need an Unmarshaller-Listener

However, I'm not sure, if the listener is invoked after the properties are set or before.

NOTE: The listener is available since JAXB-2.0 (JDK-6)
