Question

How can I generate the following XML using JAXB?

Answer 1

Annotate type and gender properties with @XmlAttribute and the description property with @XmlValue:

package org.example.sport;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlRootElement
public class Sport {

    @XmlAttribute
    protected String type;

    @XmlAttribute
    protected String gender;

    @XmlValue;
    protected String description;

}
