JAXB endless data structure, recursive binding?

Question

sBefore starting a project I wanted to get a short heads up here.

If I have a structure like this:

    
        <         


        

Answer 1

Yes you can have the following:

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class A {

    private List<A> a;

}

And your JAXB (JSR-222) implementation will marshal it correctly.
