JAXB, Custom bindings, Adapter1.class and Joda-time

Question

I have a problem with the way JAXB is generating the bound classes for an XML schema (which, for sake of precision, I cannot modify). I want to map a xsd:date type to a Joda

Answer 1

You do not need to extend XmlAdapter.

Just create static methods on a POJO and it will work.

Example:

 public class DateAdapter {
    private static DateTimeFormatter fmt = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("yyyyMMdd");

    public static LocalDate unmarshal(String v) throws Exception {
        return fmt.parseLocalDate(v);
    }

    public static String marshal(LocalDate v) throws Exception {
        return v.toString("yyyyMMdd");
    }
 }
