ph-ubl

 This is the readme file for version 5.x or later.

Set of Java libraries for reading and writing OASIS UBL 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 documents. The following projects are contained:

• ph-ubl-testfiles contains all UBL test files (used only in Maven test scope)
• ph-ubl-api base library containing common stuff for UBL 2.0 and 2.1.
• ph-ubl20 contains the generated JAXB files for UBL 2.0 as well as the helper classes.
• ph-ubl20-codelists contains the generated enums for the UBL 2.0 codelists (optional artefact)
• ph-ubl21 contains the generated JAXB files for UBL 2.1 as well as the helper classes.
• ph-ubl21-codelists contains the generated enums for the UBL 2.1 codelists (optional artefact)
• ph-ubl22 contains the generated JAXB files for UBL 2.2 as well as the helper classes.
• ph-ubl22-codelists contains the generated enums for the UBL 2.2 codelists (optional artefact)
• ph-ubl23 contains the generated JAXB files for UBL 2.3 as well as the helper classes.
• ph-ubl23-codelists contains the generated enums for the UBL 2.3 codelists (optional artefact)
• ph-ubltr contains the generated JAXB files UBL-tr - the Turkish e-Invoice (optional artefact)
• ph-ublpe contains the generated JAXB files for UBLPE #openinvoiceperu (optional artefact)
• ph-ubl-dian contains the generated JAXB files for the Colombian e-Invoice (optional artefact)

Old projects:

• ph-ubl-jaxb-plugin a special JAXB 2.2 plugin that creates additional methods for easier usage (used only in Maven generate-sources phase) - this plugin was only available until v6.1.0. It was moved to ph-jaxb22-plugin v2.3.1.3. The option ph-ubl-value was renamed to ph-value-extender in the new project so that it can be used in other projects.

Building

This project requires Java 1.8 or higher to be build and used.

The JAXB generated sources are created dynamically via mvn process-sources and are not part of the committed source files. This is also automatically called when you call mvn clean install. The folders with the generated sources differ from subproject to subproject:

• ph-ubl20: target\generated-sources\ubl20
• ph-ubl21: target\generated-sources\ubl21
• ph-ubl22: target\generated-sources\ubl22
• ph-ubl23: target\generated-sources\ubl23
• ph-ublpe: target\generated-sources\ublpe
• ph-ubltr: target\generated-sources\ubltr
• ph-ubl-dian: target\generated-sources\dian

Examples

An example for reading and writing UBL 2.0 files can be found in the test file UBL20FuncTest.java. An example to create an invoice from scratch can be found in the test code CreateInvoiceFromScratchFuncTest.java.

An example for reading and writing UBL 2.1 files can be found in the test file UBL21FuncTest.java. An example to create an invoice from scratch can be found in the test code CreateInvoiceFromScratchFuncTest.java.

Maven usage generic

You can use ph-ubl as a BOM (bill of material) when you include the following in the dependencyManagement section of your POM, replacing x.y.z with the effective version number:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.helger.ubl</groupId>
  <artifactId>ph-ubl-parent-pom</artifactId>
  <version>x.y.z</version>
  <type>pom</type>
  <scope>import</scope>
</dependency>

Note: prior to v6.3.0 the Maven groupId was com.helger.

Gradle considerations

This project relies on JDK version based Maven profile activation. See https://github.com/phax/ph-jaxb-pom#gradle-usage for help on this specific issue.
