Question

I am wondering if it is possible to have JAXB not to create Java object for XML elements that serve as wrappers. For example, for XML of the following structure

Answer 1

Worth mentioning, if the content is a list of instead of a single instance:

    
        
        
        ...
    

then you can use the @XmlElementWrapper annotation:

@XmlRootElement(name = "root")
public class Root {

    @XmlElementWrapper(name = "wrapper")
    @XmlElement(name = "entity")
    private List entity;

    static class Entity { }

}
