Java Language JAXB Automatic field/property XML mapping configuration (@XmlAccessorType)
Example
Annotation @XmlAccessorType determines whether fields/properties will be automatically serialized to XML. Note, that field and method annotations @XmlElement, @XmlAttribute or @XmlTransient take precedence over the default settings.
public class XmlAccessTypeExample {
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
static class AccessorExampleField {
public String field="value1";
public String getGetter() {
return "getter";
}
public void setGetter(String value) {}
}
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE)
static class AccessorExampleNone {
public String field="value1";
public String getGetter() {
return "getter";
}
public void setGetter(String value) {}
}
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.PROPERTY)
static class AccessorExampleProperty {
public String field="value1";
public String getGetter() {
return "getter";
}
public void setGetter(String value) {}
}
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.PUBLIC_MEMBER)
static class AccessorExamplePublic {
public String field="value1";
public String getGetter() {
return "getter";
}
public void setGetter(String value) {}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
System.out.println("\nField:");
JAXB.marshal(new AccessorExampleField(), System.out);
System.out.println("\nNone:");
JAXB.marshal(new AccessorExampleNone(), System.out);
System.out.println("\nProperty:");
JAXB.marshal(new AccessorExampleProperty(), System.out);
System.out.println("\nPublic:");
JAXB.marshal(new AccessorExamplePublic(), System.out);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Exception occurred while writing in XML!");
}
}
} // outer class end
Output

None:

<accessorExampleNone/>
Property:

</accessorExampleProperty>
Public:
