com.sun.xml.bind.defaultNamespaceRemap

What’s com.sun.xml.bind.defaultNamespaceRemap? just another cozy handshake between a couple of so called reference implementation projects implementing open standard specifications. The following snippet is a bit more telling…“This method guarantees that the JAX-WS RI will finds the JAXB RI”

    /**
     * Creates a new {@link JAXBRIContext}.
     *
     * <p>
     * {@link JAXBContext#newInstance(Class[]) JAXBContext.newInstance()} methods may
     * return other JAXB providers that are not compatible with the JAX-RPC RI.
     * This method guarantees that the JAX-WS RI will finds the JAXB RI.

     * @param classes
     *      Classes to be bound. See {@link JAXBContext#newInstance(Class[])} for the meaning.
     * @param typeRefs
     *      See {@link #TYPE_REFERENCES} for the meaning of this parameter.
