Let's generate the Java classes using xjc compile. xjc tool is lying in the bin folder of download from [http://example.com|https://jaxb.dev.java.net]. The schema that we use for generating the class file is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://www.lalit.com/om"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

Run the compiler as shown below:
xjc -d <folder where the classes to be generated> <location of xsd file>
It will generate classes using the package structure as reflected by the target namespace of the xsd file. Once the classes are generated you will see the generated java classes having annotations. Let's look into the
UserType.java class

The java class has annotations which are self explanatory. The details are cover elsewhere. Now any XML file conforming to the above XSD can be read using JAXB api.
The following code is used to read the XML:
//Get the JAXB Context~~
JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance("com.lalit.om");
Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
//Enable the validation handler~~
unmarshaller.setEventHandler(new javax.xml.bind.helpers.DefaultValidationEventHandler());
//Get the root and do processing in OO way~~
JAXBElement<UserType> userType =
(JAXBElement<UserType>)unmarshaller.unmarshal(new File("src/user_jaxb.xml"));
UserType user = (UserType)userType.getValue();
System.out.println(user.getProductBought().getProduct().size());
To generate the XML back using the marshaller is as follows
//Generating the XML file using the generated code~~
//At the moment we will use the generated user object.~~
ObjectFactory of = new ObjectFactory();
JAXBElement jce = of.createUser(user);
JAXBContext jcc = JAXBContext.newInstance("com.lalit.om");
Marshaller marshaller = jc.createMarshaller();
marshaller.marshal( jce, System.out );
