JAXBHelper (EclipseLink 2.6.4, API Reference)

java.lang.Object
- org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBHelper

```
public class JAXBHelper
extends java.lang.Object
```
This class provides a mechanism to obtain the EclipseLink implementation of various JAXB runtime classes based on a given JAXB class/interface. This is useful for accessing extended EclipseLink features. Using this helper class will alleviate the need for consumers of EclipseLink JAXB to perform casts where their code makes use of the standard JAXB API. In addition, a given JAXB class/interface can be unwrapped based on a user-specified class. This will allow access - in certain cases - to a given JAXB implementation class' underlying class(es). For example, a Marshaller could be unwrapped resulting in an EclipseLink JAXBMarshaller, or its underlying XMLMarshaller.
