Hi Polly,
1. You would want to use the getObject() method to get back your
Object. getOriginalObject is used for events like postClone or
postMerge where you may want access to the original object. OXM doesn't
use any cloning so that OriginalObject wouldn't be set.
2. I believe you would just need to set the event-listener element in
your deployment XML.
3. In ORM projects, there's a lot of different descriptor events that
get called, but in OXM, currently, only the postBuild event gets
raised. The XMLMarshalListener API provides pre and post marshal
events, but those would be raised for every object (similar to JAXB
event listeners) and not on a per-descriptor basis.

Hi Matt,
This looks great! I just need a few more clarifications:
1. In DescriptorEvent, do I use getObject() or getOriginalObject() to get
the object with the unmarshalled data?
2. It looks like it's possible to use this in the project.xml file using
the <events xsi:type="event-policy"/> element. Is that right? I can see
by the schema to put the name of the event listener class in the
"event-listener" element, but should I also set "post-build-method" element?
3. Just out of curiosity in case I need this later, do you have another
event callback for marshalling?
Thanks!

Hi Polly,
You can add a DescriptorEventListener on a given XMLDescriptor's event
manager (descriptor.getEventManager().addListener(listener)).
For moxy, the only event that's invoked on DescriptorEventListeners is
the postBuild event, which will be invoked after an object is finished
being built. From your email, it sounds like that event callback should
do the trick though.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
Is there a way for EclipseLink to call a handler to do post-processing
work
after unmarshalling a certain class? I found some information in the
documentation about the XMLUnmarshalListener, but it seems to listen to
unmarshal events for everything. Is there something else that I can
attach
to just one class or one XMLDescriptor?
Thanks,
Polly
