Using BigDecimal in JAXB marshalling

Question

I have a REST webservice with JAXB fields annotations. For example,

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.PROPERTY)
public class MyClass{
  private BigDecimal sum;
  /         


        

Answer 1

You write an XmlAdapter and you annotate the getter of sum with it: @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(BigDecimalStringAdapter.class).
