        JAXB unmarshaller

        Unmarshal classes from a repository. Unmarshalling creates objects and initialises members of a class instance structure from an XML file.

        The URL may point to a file on the web or a local file using the usual URL syntax. The file is cached in the current directory with prefix www- and is used automatically if the remote connection fails.

        To prevent overwriting a previously cached file, remove the www- prefix. The unmarshalling always first tries to use the file with no prefix.

        Parameters:
        xml - URL of XML data
        classes - The classes that provide the unmarshalling context
        Returns:
        The unmarshalled object

      • exec

        public static void exec​(java.lang.Class<?> cl,

        Supports only the following method signatures:

        static void method() static void method(String) static void method(String,String)
        Parameters:

        cmd - The method and parameters cmd[[|arg1[|arg2]]
