JAXB with namespace unmarshalling (using Jersey from REST service)

Question

I\'m trying to unmarshal a simple xml document from a public api from Convio. I\'m not getting any compiler errors with the following code, but it won\'t produce a result ei

Answer 1

You could add a package level annotation (this is done on a class called package-info) and specify elementFormDefault="qualified", then you wouldn't need to qualify each @XmlElement annotation.

@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(
   namespace="http://convio.com/crm/v1.0".
   elementFormDefault = javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED) 
package com.convio.crm;

Answer 2

The namespace is not "inherited" by the fields on the bound class. You need to define the namespace on the fields as well:

@XmlRootElement(name = "getSingleSignOnTokenResponse", namespace = "http://convio.com/crm/v1.0")
public class SingleSignOnResponseBean
{
  @XmlElement(name = "token", namespace = "http://convio.com/crm/v1.0")
  public String token;
  @XmlElement(name = "cons_id", namespace = "http://convio.com/crm/v1.0")
  public int consId;
}

If you omit them, then the fields go back to the "default" namespace (i.e. no namespace).

It's mildly irritating, but that's the way it is.
