Constructor Detail

• JaxbObject

  public JaxbObject()

  JAXB has a memory leak when it comes to making new JAXBContext instances, so one JAXBContext is created for the entire lifetime of the program and initialized with all of the classes that we marshal and unmarshal at the moment, as per the instructions at * http://whileonefork.blogspot.com/2010/09/leaking-of-jaxb.html and * http://jaxb.java.net/guide/Performance_and_thread_safety.html . In order to marshall or unmarshall new objects, they must be added to the context creation in this constructor.
