XmlJavaTypeAdapter

public class XmlJavaTypeAdapter
Use an adapter that implements {@link XmlAdapter} for custom marshaling.

Usage:

The @XmlJavaTypeAdapter annotation can be used with the following program elements:

  • a JavaBean property
  • field
  • parameter
  • package
  • from within {@link XmlJavaTypeAdapters}

When @XmlJavaTypeAdapter annotation is defined on a class, it applies to all references to the class.

When @XmlJavaTypeAdapter annotation is defined at the package level it applies to all references from within the package to @XmlJavaTypeAdapter.type().

When @XmlJavaTypeAdapter annotation is defined on the field, property or parameter, then the annotation applies to the field, property or the parameter only.

A @XmlJavaTypeAdapter annotation on a field, property or parameter overrides the @XmlJavaTypeAdapter annotation associated with the class being referenced by the field, property or parameter.

A @XmlJavaTypeAdapter annotation on a class overrides the @XmlJavaTypeAdapter annotation specified at the package level for that class.

This annotation can be used with the following other annotations: {@link XmlElement}, {@link XmlAttribute}, {@link XmlElementRef}, {@link XmlElementRefs}, {@link XmlAnyElement}. This can also be used at the package level with the following annotations: {@link XmlAccessorType}, {@link XmlSchema}, {@link XmlSchemaType}, {@link XmlSchemaTypes}.

Example: See example in {@link XmlAdapter}
