Using an adapter to marshal a class to a root element with MOXy or any other JAXB implementation

Question

I have a class which extends the CompositeConfiguration class from Apache Commons Configuration. I am trying to marshal it to XML using MOXy. I have created an XML adapter

Answer 1

EclipseLink MOXy and other JAXB (JSR-222) providers do not apply an XmlAdapter to the root object being marshalled. You can explicitly call the adapter logic before doing a marshal or after doing an unmarshal.
