XmlAttribute Field Example
The XmlAttribute Field example shows how to use the @XmlAttribute annotation to define a
property or field to be treated as an XML attribute.
The @XmlAttribute annotation maps a field or JavaBean property to an XML attribute. The
following rules are imposed:
■ A static final field is mapped to a XML fixed attribute.
Java-to-Schema Examples
■ When the field or property is a collection type, the items of the collection type must map to a
schema simple type.
■ When the field or property is other than a collection type, the type must map to a schema
simple type.
When following the JavaBean programming paradigm, a property is defined by a get and set
prefix on a field name.
