 * <a name="unmarshalEx"></a> <b>Unmarshalling XML Data</b><br>
 * <blockquote> Unmarshalling can deserialize XML data that represents either an
 * entire XML document or a subtree of an XML document. Typically, it is
 * sufficient to use the unmarshalling methods described by <a
 * href="#unmarshalGlobal">Unmarshal root element that is declared globally</a>.
 * These unmarshal methods utilize {@link JAXBContext}'s mapping of global XML
 * element declarations and type definitions to JAXB mapped classes to initiate
 * the unmarshalling of the root element of XML data. When the
 * {@link JAXBContext}'s mappings are not sufficient to unmarshal the root
 * element of XML data, the application can assist the unmarshalling process by
 * using the <a href="#unmarshalByDeclaredType">unmarshal by declaredType
 * methods</a>. These methods are useful for unmarshalling XML data where the
 * root element corresponds to a local element declaration in the schema.
 * </blockquote>
 * 
 * <blockquote> An unmarshal method never returns null. If the unmarshal process
 * is unable to unmarshal the root of XML content to a JAXB mapped object, a
 * fatal error is reported that terminates processing by throwing JAXBException.
 * </blockquote>
 * 
 * <p>
 * <a name="unmarshalGlobal"></a> <b>Unmarshal a root element that is globally
 * declared</b><br>
 * <blockquote> The unmarshal methods that do not have an <tt>declaredType</tt>
 * parameter use {@link JAXBContext} to unmarshal the root element of an XML
 * data. The {@link JAXBContext} instance is the one that was used to create
 * this <tt>Unmarshaller</tt>. The {@link JAXBContext} instance maintains a
 * mapping of globally declared XML element and type definition names to JAXB
 * mapped classes. The unmarshal method checks if {@link JAXBContext} has a
 * mapping from the root element's XML name and/or <tt>@xsi:type</tt> to a JAXB
 * mapped class. If it does, it umarshalls the XML data using the appropriate
 * JAXB mapped class. Note that when the root element name is unknown and the
 * root element has an <tt>@xsi:type</tt>, the XML data is unmarshalled using
 * that JAXB mapped class as the value of a {@link JAXBElement}. When the
 * {@link JAXBContext} object does not have a mapping for the root element's
 * name nor its <tt>@xsi:type</tt>, if it exists, then the unmarshal operation
 * will abort immediately by throwing a {@link UnmarshalException
 * UnmarshalException}. This exception scenario can be worked around by using
 * the unmarshal by declaredType methods described in the next subsection.
 * </blockquote>
 * 
 * <p>
 * <a name="unmarshalByDeclaredType"></a> <b>Unmarshal by Declared Type</b><br>
 * <blockquote> The unmarshal methods with a <code>declaredType</code> parameter
 * enable an application to deserialize a root element of XML data, even when
 * there is no mapping in {@link JAXBContext} of the root element's XML name.
 * The unmarshaller unmarshals the root element using the application provided
 * mapping specified as the <tt>declaredType</tt> parameter. Note that even when
 * the root element's element name is mapped by {@link JAXBContext}, the
 * <code>declaredType</code> parameter overrides that mapping for deserializing
 * the root element when using these unmarshal methods. Additionally, when the
 * root element of XML data has an <tt>xsi:type</tt> attribute and that
 * attribute's value references a type definition that is mapped to a JAXB
 * mapped class by {@link JAXBContext}, that the root element's
 * <tt>xsi:type</tt> attribute takes precedence over the unmarshal methods
 * <tt>declaredType</tt> parameter. These methods always return a
 * <tt>JAXBElement&lt;declaredType></tt> instance. The table below shows how the

 * <b>Support for SAX2.0 Compliant Parsers</b><br>
 * <blockquote> A client application has the ability to select the SAX2.0
 * compliant parser of their choice. If a SAX parser is not selected, then the
 * JAXB Provider's default parser will be used. Even though the JAXB Provider's
 * default parser is not required to be SAX2.0 compliant, all providers are
 * required to allow a client application to specify their own SAX2.0 parser.
 * Some providers may require the client application to specify the SAX2.0
 * parser at schema compile time. See
 * {@link #unmarshal(javax.xml.transform.Source) unmarshal(Source)} for more
 * detail. </blockquote>
 * 
 * <p>
 * <b>Validation and Well-Formedness</b><br>
 * <blockquote>
 * <p>
 * A client application can enable or disable JAXP 1.3 validation mechanism via
 * the <tt>setSchema(javax.xml.validation.Schema)</tt> API. Sophisticated
 * clients can specify their own validating SAX 2.0 compliant parser and bypass
 * the JAXP 1.3 validation mechanism using the
 * {@link #unmarshal(javax.xml.transform.Source) unmarshal(Source)} API.
 * 
 * <p>
 * Since unmarshalling invalid XML content is defined in JAXB 2.0, the
 * Unmarshaller default validation event handler was made more lenient than in
 * JAXB 1.0. When schema-derived code generated by JAXB 1.0 binding compiler is
 * registered with {@link JAXBContext}, the default unmarshal validation handler
 * is {@link javax.xml.bind.helpers.DefaultValidationEventHandler} and it
 * terminates the marshal operation after encountering either a fatal error or
 * an error. For a JAXB 2.0 client application, there is no explicitly defined
 * default validation handler and the default event handling only terminates the
 * marshal operation after encountering a fatal error.
 * 
 * </blockquote>
 * 
 * <p>
 * <a name="supportedProps"></a> <b>Supported Properties</b><br>
 * <blockquote>
 * <p>
 * There currently are not any properties required to be supported by all JAXB
 * Providers on Unmarshaller. However, some providers may support their own set
 * of provider specific properties. </blockquote>
 * 
 * <p>
 * <a name="unmarshalEventCallback"></a> <b>Unmarshal Event Callbacks</b><br>
 * <blockquote> The {@link Unmarshaller} provides two styles of callback
 * mechanisms that allow application specific processing during key points in
 * the unmarshalling process. In 'class defined' event callbacks, application
 * specific code placed in JAXB mapped classes is triggered during
 * unmarshalling. 'External listeners' allow for centralized processing of
 * unmarshal events in one callback method rather than by type event callbacks.
 * <p>
 *'Class defined' event callback methods allow any JAXB mapped class to specify
 * its own specific callback methods by defining methods with the following
 * method signature: <blockquote>
 * 
 * <pre>
 *   // This method is called immediately after the object is created and before the unmarshalling of this 
 *   // object begins. The callback provides an opportunity to initialize JavaBean properties prior to unmarshalling.
 *   void beforeUnmarshal(Unmarshaller, Object parent);
 * 
 *   //This method is called after all the properties (except IDREF) are unmarshalled for this object, 
 *   //but before this object is set to the parent object.
 *   void afterUnmarshal(Unmarshaller, Object parent);
 * </pre>
 * 
 * </blockquote> The class defined callback methods should be used when the
 * callback method requires access to non-public methods and/or fields of the
 * class.
 * <p>
 * The external listener callback mechanism enables the registration of a
 * {@link Listener} instance with an {@link Unmarshaller#setListener(Listener)}.
 * The external listener receives all callback events, allowing for more
 * centralized processing than per class defined callback methods. The external
 * listener receives events when unmarshalling proces is marshalling to a JAXB
 * element or to JAXB mapped class.
 * <p>
 * The 'class defined' and external listener event callback methods are
 * independent of each other, both can be called for one event. The invocation
 * ordering when both listener callback methods exist is defined in
 * {@link Listener#beforeUnmarshal(Object, Object)} and
 * {@link Listener#afterUnmarshal(Object, Object)}.
 * <p>
 * An event callback method throwing an exception terminates the current
 * unmarshal process.

   * A client application can choose not to use the default parser mechanism
   * supplied with their JAXB provider. Any SAX 2.0 compliant parser can be
   * substituted for the JAXB provider's default mechanism. To do so, the
   * client application must properly configure a <tt>SAXSource</tt>
   * containing an <tt>XMLReader</tt> implemented by the SAX 2.0 parser
   * provider. If the <tt>XMLReader</tt> has an
   * <tt>org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler</tt> registered on it, it will be replaced
   * by the JAXB Provider so that validation errors can be reported via the
   * <tt>ValidationEventHandler</tt> mechanism of JAXB. If the
   * <tt>SAXSource</tt> does not contain an <tt>XMLReader</tt>, then the JAXB
   * provider's default parser mechanism will be used.
   * <p>
   * This parser replacement mechanism can also be used to replace the JAXB
   * provider's unmarshal-time validation engine. The client application must
   * properly configure their SAX 2.0 compliant parser to perform validation
   * (as shown in the example above). Any <tt>SAXParserExceptions
     * </tt> encountered by the parser
   * during the unmarshal operation will be processed by the JAXB provider and
   * converted into JAXB <tt>ValidationEvent</tt> objects which will be
   * reported back to the client via the <tt>ValidationEventHandler</tt>
   * registered with the <tt>Unmarshaller</tt>. <i>Note:</i> specifying a
   * substitute validating SAX 2.0 parser for unmarshalling does not
   * necessarily replace the validation engine used by the JAXB provider for
   * performing on-demand validation.
   * <p>
   * The only way for a client application to specify an alternate parser
   * mechanism to be used during unmarshal is via the
   * <tt>unmarshal(SAXSource)</tt> API. All other forms of the unmarshal
   * method (File, URL, Node, etc) will use the JAXB provider's default parser
