JAXB Annotations

Question

I need a little help with JAXB Annotations and I couldn\'t find good doc\'s helping me figure this out.

I have a class that I want to marshal into XML. My Class look

Answer 1

Try this:

@XmlRootElement(name="car")
...
public class Car {
   ...

   @XmlElementWrapper(name="recalls")  // this name=... can be omitted, as it
                                       // is the same as the field name
   @XmlElement(name="recall")
   private ArrayList<Recall> recalls;
}

From the documentation:

XmlElementWrapper: Generates a wrapper element around XML representation. This is primarily intended to be used to produce a wrapper XML element around collections.
