I am trying to marshall a message using the following snippet:
JAXBContext jContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(Iq.class);
Marshaller m = newJAXBContext.createMarshaller();
m.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FRAGMENT, Boolean.TRUE);
m.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
Bind bind = new Bind();
bind.setResource("resource");
Iq iq = new Iq();
iq.setId(iqId);
iq.setType("set");
iq.getAnies().add(bind);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
m.marshal(iq, baos);
Here, Iq and Bind are the objects formed from the relevant xmpp schemas. My problem is, with jaxb 2.0 and later versions, all the namespaces are declared in the root element:
<iq from='juliet@example.com/balcony'
id='rg1'
type='get' xmlns='jabber:client' xmlns:ns1='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-bind'>
<ns1:bind>
<ns1:resource>resource</ns1:resource>
</ns1:bind>
</iq>
But, what is needed here is that the namespaces should occupy the appropriate places:
<iq from='juliet@example.com/balcony'
id="rg1"
type="get" xmlns="jabber:client">
<bind xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-bind">
<resource>resource</resource>
</bind>
</iq>
Is there a way to marshall the xmpp stanzas as you see them in the 2nd xml stanza through JAXB 2.0 or later versions?
Long story short, I have 2 problems here:
1. Declaring the namespaces at appropriate locations.
2. removing the namespace prefix which I understand can be removed using the NamespacePrefixMapper? Not sure though, an example would be great.
How about the following?:
Create a custom XMLStreamWriter that will treat all namespace declarations as default namespaces, and then marshal to that:
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
XMLOutputFactory xof = XMLOutputFactory.newFactory();
XMLStreamWriter xsw = xof.createXMLStreamWriter(System.out);
xsw = new MyXMLStreamWriter(xsw);
m.marshal(iq, xsw);
xsw.close();
MyXMLStreamWriter

You can nowadays control prefixes also using a custom mapper.
NamespacePrefixMapper namespacePrefixMapper = new com.sun.xml.bind.marshaller.NamespacePrefixMapper() {
private Map<String, String> prefixes;
{
prefixes = new HashMap<>(3);
prefixes.put(XMLConstants.XML_NS_URI, XMLConstants.XML_NS_PREFIX);
prefixes.put(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_INSTANCE_NS_URI, "xsi");
prefixes.put(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI, "xs");
prefixes.put(WellKnownNamespace.XML_MIME_URI, "xmime");
}
@Override
public String getPreferredPrefix(String namespaceUri, String suggestion,
boolean requirePrefix) {
String prefix = suggestion == null ? prefixes.get(namespaceUri)
: suggestion;
return prefix == null ? XMLConstants.DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX : prefix;
}
};
marshaller.setProperty("com.sun.xml.bind.namespacePrefixMapper",
namespacePrefixMapper);
