package jakarta.xml.bind;

import javax.xml.namespace.NamespaceContext;


The javaType binding declaration can be used to customize the binding of 
an XML schema datatype to a Java datatype. Customizations can involve 
writing a parse and print method for parsing and printing lexical 
representations of a XML schema datatype respectively. However, writing 
parse and print methods requires knowledge of the lexical representations ( 
 XML Schema Part2: Datatypes 
specification ) and hence may be difficult to write. 


This class makes it easier to write parse and print methods. It defines
static parse and print methods that provide access to a Jakarta XML Binding provider's 
implementation of parse and print methods. These methods are invoked by 
custom parse and print methods. For example, the binding of xsd:dateTime 
to a long can be customized using parse and print methods as follows:

   
   // Customized parse method 
   public long myParseCal( String dateTimeString ) {
       java.util.Calendar cal = DatatypeConverter.parseDateTime(dateTimeString);
       long longval = convert_calendar_to_long(cal); //application specific
       return longval;
   }
    
   // Customized print method
   public String myPrintCal( Long longval ) {
       java.util.Calendar cal = convert_long_to_calendar(longval) ; //application specific
       String dateTimeString = DatatypeConverter.printDateTime(cal);
       return dateTimeString;
   }
   

 There is a static parse and print method corresponding to each parse and print method respectively in the 
DatatypeConverterInterface. 

The static methods defined in the class can also be used to specify
a parse or a print method in a javaType binding declaration.

 Jakarta XML Binding Providers are required to call the 
setDatatypeConverter api at some point before the first marshal or unmarshal operation (perhaps during the call to JAXBContext.newInstance). This step is necessary to configure the converter that should be used to perform the print and parse functionality. 

A print method for a XML schema datatype can output any lexical 
representation that is valid with respect to the XML schema datatype.
If an error is encountered during conversion, then an IllegalArgumentException,
or a subclass of IllegalArgumentException must be thrown by the method.

Jakarta XML Binding Providers are required to call this method at some point before
allowing any of the Jakarta XML Binding client marshal or unmarshal operations to
occur.  This is necessary to configure the datatype converter that

Calling this api repeatedly will have no effect - the
