Car.java:

• interface representing the “car” complex type
• only DESCRIBES get and set methods for car properties

Cars.java:

• interface representing “cars” global element
• extends CarsType and javax.xml.bind.Element (just a marker interface)
• describes no ADDITIONAL methods

CarsType.java:

• interface representing ANONYMOUS complex type defined inside the “cars” global element
• provides method to get collection of Car objects (as a java.util.List)

ObjectFactory.java:

• CLASS used to create objects of the above interface types
• extends DefaultJAXBContextImpl which extends JAXBContext

bgm.ser:

• a serialized OBJECT of type com.sun.msv.grammar.trex.TREXGrammar
• can’t find any documentation on this - don’t know its purpose

jaxb.properties:

• sets a property that defines the class used to create JAXBContext objects
• com/withoutbook/cars/impl directory

CarImpl.java:

• class that implements Car
• corresponds to the “car” XML Schema complexType

CarsTypeImpl.java:

• class that implements CarType
• corresponds to the XML Schema anonymous type inside the “cars” element
