Welcome to the 1.2.1 Release

This 1.2.1 release brings bug fixes for a number of issues, mostly around the new schema and binding generation from code introduced with the 1.2 release. Several types of schema structures which caused errors with the 1.2 release are now handled correctly, including schemas which do not use elementFormDefault="qualified".

The docs subdirectory contains the full JiBX documentation.

To help you get started using JiBX, you can find several introductory projects in the examples directory, all with Ant build scripts provided. The examples/bindgen directory gives examples of using JiBX to generate schema definitions and corresponding bindings from existing Java code. The documentation includes a full discussion of these examples. The examples/codegen directory gives examples of using JiBX to generate Java code and corresponding bindings from XML schema definitions, again as discussed in the documentation. The examples/jibx2wsdl directory gives examples of using JiBX to generate WSDL web service definitions from existing Java code, and when used with an Axis2 1.4.X installation patched with the separate jibx-axis2 update these examples will use combine the generated WSDL with the starter code and build working client and server applications. Finally, the examples/starter project gives a barebones projects demonstrating how you can work with JiBX using an existing binding definition. This last example is based on the first sample from the binding tutorial. The source codes for the full set of samples in the binding tutorial are also provided, separately.
