I have a xsd schema from which I'm generating some java classes. I'm using jaxb for the generation.
I want to be able to generate a class annotated with @XmlRootElement
, but I want the @XmlRootElement name property to be different than the name of the generated class.
In my xsd I'm defining the following:
<xs:element name="customer">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
....
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
This piece of code generates the following java class:
@XmlRootElement(name = "customer")
public class Customer {
...
}
The name property of the @XmlRootElement
is the same as the name of the generated Class. I want the generated class name to be CustomerReques
t.
I've tryed to use the jaxb:class
definition to change the classe name. Indeed this option changes the class name but removes the @XmlRootElement
annotation, and I need it to be present.
The following xsd:
<xs:element name="customer">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:appinfo>
<jaxb:class name="CustomerRequest"/>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:sequence>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
Generates this class:
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "customer", propOrder = {
})
public class CustomerRequest {
}
How can I make the property name of the @XmlRootElement
annotation different from the generated class name without loosing the annotation?
Solution update: User Xstian proposed the correct solution using external bindings. Just for further reference, I'll update my own post with the solution converted for using inline bindings:
<xs:element name="customer">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>Request object for the operation that checks if a customer profile exists.</xs:documentation>
<xs:appinfo>
<annox:annotate>
<annox:annotate annox:class="javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement" name="customer"/>
</annox:annotate>
<jaxb:class name="CustomerRequest"/>
</xs:appinfo>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:sequence>
</xs:sequece>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
I suggest you to use this bindings
<bindings version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc"
xmlns:annox="http://annox.dev.java.net"
xmlns:namespace="http://jaxb2-commons.dev.java.net/namespace-prefix">
<bindings schemaLocation="../your.xsd">
<bindings node="//xs:element[@name='customer']//xs:complexType">
<annox:annotate>
<annox:annotate annox:class="javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement"
name="customer" namespace="yourNamespaceIfYouWant">
</annox:annotate>
</annox:annotate>
<class name="CustomerRequest"/>
</bindings>
</bindings>
</bindings>
Class
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlType(name = "", propOrder = {
"header"
})
@XmlRootElement(name = "customer", namespace = "yourNamespaceIfYouWant")
public class CustomerRequest
