Importing XML data to a RDBMS

exercise No. 20

Reading XML, write using JPA

Q:

Read the given XML data example using JAXB and persist the corresponding objects to a RDBMS. This requires the following steps:

  • Create a JAXBContext and an Unmarshaller instance to parse valid <catalog> instances accordingly.
