Read with jackson-dataformat-xml file using jaxb generated classes

This project is an example on how use jaxb generation from xsd and read using jackson-dataformat-xml

Setup and run

Clone this repository and use maven install. All tests should be passed (green)

Description

Select a xsd schema definition see example for an xml file and generate, using eclipse default generator, corresponding model file.

Now the problem is: using jackson-dataformat-xml, read the xml file, and unmarshalling it to corresponding generated classes. I've done some test and found the following solution:

@Test
public void jaxbAnnotatorIntrospectorTest()
		throws JsonParseException, JsonMappingException, IOException, XMLStreamException {
	XmlMapper mapper = new XmlMapper();
	//SOLUTION: set JaxbAnnotationIntrospector!
	mapper.setAnnotationIntrospector(new JaxbAnnotationIntrospector(TypeFactory.defaultInstance()));
	File f = new File(this.getClass().getResource("example.xml").getFile());

	FlsAssDom1 read = mapper.readValue(f, FlsAssDom1.class);

	assertTrue(read != null && read.getResidenza().get(0).getASL().equals("123"));
}

The line that made the trick is mapper.setAnnotationIntrospector() setting the default JaxbAnnotationIntrospector. If you run the tests ( and debug them ) you can see that other solutions does not work, but this works!
