<h1>JiBX general document/literal</h1>

<p>Code generation for JiBX data binding converts operations
defined by a Web service to method calls. With general
document/literal (doc/lit) Web services the generated methods each
take a single parameter object and return a single result object.
Here's a sample doc/lit WSDL (partial) by way of an example:</p>

<div>
<pre>

      &lt;element name=&quot;getBook&quot;&gt;
        &lt;complexType&gt;

            &lt;element name=&quot;isbn&quot; type=&quot;string&quot;/&gt;
          &lt;/sequence&gt;
        &lt;/complexType&gt;
      &lt;/element&gt;
      
      &lt;element name=&quot;getBookResponse&quot;&gt;

      &lt;/element&gt;
      
      &lt;element name=&quot;addBook&quot;&gt;

          &lt;sequence&gt;

            &lt;element name=&quot;title&quot; type=&quot;string&quot;/&gt;
          &lt;/sequence&gt;
        &lt;/complexType&gt;
      &lt;/element&gt;
      
      &lt;element name=&quot;addBookResponse&quot;&gt;
        &lt;complexType&gt;
          &lt;sequence&gt;
            &lt;element name=&quot;success&quot; type=&quot;boolean&quot;/&gt;
          &lt;/sequence&gt;
        &lt;/complexType&gt;
      &lt;/element&gt;
      
      &lt;complexType name=&quot;BookInformation&quot;&gt;
        &lt;sequence&gt;
          &lt;element name=&quot;author&quot; minOccurs=&quot;0&quot; maxOccurs=&quot;unbounded&quot; type=&quot;string&quot;/&gt;

        &lt;/sequence&gt;
        &lt;attribute name=&quot;type&quot; use=&quot;required&quot; type=&quot;string&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;attribute name=&quot;isbn&quot; use=&quot;required&quot; type=&quot;string&quot;/&gt;
      &lt;/complexType&gt;
      
    &lt;/schema&gt;

  &lt;/wsdl:types&gt;

  &lt;wsdl:message name=&quot;getBookRequest&quot;&gt;
    &lt;wsdl:part element=&quot;wns:getBook&quot; name=&quot;parameters&quot;/&gt;
  &lt;/wsdl:message&gt;

  &lt;wsdl:message name=&quot;getBookResponse&quot;&gt;
    &lt;wsdl:part element=&quot;wns:getBookResponse&quot; name=&quot;parameters&quot;/&gt;
  &lt;/wsdl:message&gt;

  &lt;wsdl:message name=&quot;addBookRequest&quot;&gt;
    &lt;wsdl:part element=&quot;wns:addBook&quot; name=&quot;parameters&quot;/&gt;
  &lt;/wsdl:message&gt;
  
  &lt;wsdl:message name=&quot;addBookResponse&quot;&gt;
    &lt;wsdl:part element=&quot;wns:addBookResponse&quot; name=&quot;parameters&quot;/&gt;
  &lt;/wsdl:message&gt;

  &lt;wsdl:portType name=&quot;Library&quot;&gt;

    &lt;wsdl:operation name=&quot;getBook&quot;&gt;
      &lt;wsdl:input message=&quot;wns:getBookRequest&quot; name=&quot;getBookRequest&quot;/&gt;
      &lt;wsdl:output message=&quot;wns:getBookResponse&quot; name=&quot;getBookResponse&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;/wsdl:operation&gt;

    &lt;wsdl:operation name=&quot;addBook&quot;&gt;
      &lt;wsdl:input message=&quot;wns:addBookRequest&quot; name=&quot;addBookRequest&quot;/&gt;
      &lt;wsdl:output message=&quot;wns:addBookResponse&quot; name=&quot;addBookResponse&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;/wsdl:operation&gt;

  &lt;/wsdl:portType&gt;
  ...
&lt;/wsdl:definitions&gt;
</pre></div>

<p>This WSDL defines a service with just two operations:
<b>getBook</b> and <b>addBook</b>. The <b>getBook</b> operation
takes a <i>getBook</i> element as input, and returns a
<i>getBookResponse</i> element as output, while <b>addBook</b>
takes an <i>addBook</i> element as input and returns an
<i>addBookResponse</i> as output. Here's the body of the client
interface generated by the standard JiBX code generation:</p>

<div>
<pre>
    public interface LibraryJibxUnwrapped {
          
             
        /**
         * Auto generated method signatures
         * @param addBook
         */
         public com.sosnoski.ws.library.jibx.wrappers.AddBookResponse addBook(
         com.sosnoski.ws.library.jibx.wrappers.AddBookRequest addBook) throws java.rmi.RemoteException
          
                       
             ;
             
             
        /**
         * Auto generated method signatures
         * @param getBook
         */
         public com.sosnoski.ws.library.jibx.wrappers.GetBookResponse getBook(
         com.sosnoski.ws.library.jibx.wrappers.GetBookRequest getBook) throws java.rmi.RemoteException
          
                       
             ;
             

       //
       }
</pre></div>

<p>You can see that the JiBX code generation converted the
operations into simple method call interfaces using objects
corresponding to the input and output elements of the operation
(see <a href="./jibx-unwrapped-example.html">JiBX Unwrapped
Example</a> for the interface generated when unwrapping is instead
used). The server-side interface is the same.</p>

<p>You need to supply an appropriate JiBX binding definition for
use in code generation (using the <i>-Ebindingfile {file}</i>
parameter for WSDL2Java - see <a href="./jibx-codegen-integration.html#codegen">JiBX Codegen Integration
- WSDL2Java usage</a> for more details). This must define concrete
<i>mappings</i> for each element used as the input or output of an
operation. The JiBX code generation extension matches the element
names to the binding in order to determine the corresponding class
to use in generated code.</p>

<p>For example, here's a binding definition that matches the above
WSDL:</p>

<div>
<pre>
&lt;binding add-constructors=&quot;true&quot;&gt;

  &lt;namespace uri=&quot;http://ws.sosnoski.com/library/types&quot; default=&quot;elements&quot;/&gt;
  
  &lt;mapping name=&quot;getBook&quot;
      class=&quot;com.sosnoski.ws.library.jibx.wrappers.GetBookRequest&quot;&gt;
    &lt;value name=&quot;isbn&quot; field=&quot;m_isbn&quot;/&gt;
  &lt;/mapping&gt;
  
  &lt;mapping name=&quot;getBookResponse&quot;
      class=&quot;com.sosnoski.ws.library.jibx.wrappers.GetBookResponse&quot;&gt;
    &lt;structure name=&quot;book&quot; field=&quot;m_book&quot;/&gt;
  &lt;/mapping&gt;
  
  &lt;mapping name=&quot;addBook&quot;
      class=&quot;com.sosnoski.ws.library.jibx.wrappers.AddBookRequest&quot;&gt;
    &lt;structure field=&quot;m_book&quot;&gt;
      &lt;value name=&quot;type&quot; field=&quot;m_type&quot;/&gt;
      &lt;value name=&quot;isbn&quot; field=&quot;m_isbn&quot;/&gt;
      &lt;collection field=&quot;m_authors&quot;&gt;
        &lt;value name=&quot;author&quot; type=&quot;java.lang.String&quot;/&gt;
      &lt;/collection&gt;
      &lt;value name=&quot;title&quot; field=&quot;m_title&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;/structure&gt;
  &lt;/mapping&gt;
  
  &lt;mapping name=&quot;addBookResponse&quot;
      class=&quot;com.sosnoski.ws.library.jibx.wrappers.AddBookResponse&quot;/&gt;
  
  &lt;mapping abstract=&quot;true&quot; class=&quot;com.sosnoski.ws.library.jibx.beans.Book&quot;&gt;
    &lt;value name=&quot;type&quot; style=&quot;attribute&quot; field=&quot;m_type&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;value name=&quot;isbn&quot; style=&quot;attribute&quot; field=&quot;m_isbn&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;collection field=&quot;m_authors&quot;&gt;
      &lt;value name=&quot;author&quot; type=&quot;java.lang.String&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;/collection&gt;
    &lt;value name=&quot;title&quot; field=&quot;m_title&quot;/&gt;
  &lt;/mapping&gt;

&lt;/binding&gt;
</pre></div>
