ohair@286 | 35 | * Instructs JAXB to also bind other classes when binding this class. |
ohair@286 | 36 | * |
ohair@286 | 37 | * <p> |
ohair@286 | 38 | * Java makes it impractical/impossible to list all sub-classes of |
ohair@286 | 39 | * a given class. This often gets in a way of JAXB users, as it JAXB |
ohair@286 | 40 | * cannot automatically list up the classes that need to be known |
ohair@286 | 41 | * to {@link JAXBContext}. |
ohair@286 | 42 | * |
ohair@286 | 43 | * <p> |
ohair@286 | 44 | * For example, with the following class definitions: |
ohair@286 | 45 | * |
ohair@286 | 46 | * <pre> |
ohair@286 | 47 | * class Animal {} |
ohair@286 | 48 | * class Dog extends Animal {} |
ohair@286 | 49 | * class Cat extends Animal {} |
ohair@286 | 50 | * </pre> |
ohair@286 | 51 | * |
ohair@286 | 52 | * <p> |
ohair@286 | 53 | * The user would be required to create {@link JAXBContext} as |
ohair@286 | 54 | * <tt>JAXBContext.newInstance(Dog.class,Cat.class)</tt> |
ohair@286 | 55 | * (<tt>Animal</tt> will be automatically picked up since <tt>Dog</tt> |
ohair@286 | 56 | * and <tt>Cat</tt> refers to it.) |
ohair@286 | 57 | * |
ohair@286 | 58 | * <p> |
ohair@286 | 59 | * {@link XmlSeeAlso} annotation would allow you to write: |
ohair@286 | 60 | * <pre> |
ohair@286 | 61 | * @XmlSeeAlso({Dog.class,Cat.class}) |
ohair@286 | 62 | * class Animal {} |
ohair@286 | 63 | * class Dog extends Animal {} |
ohair@286 | 64 | * class Cat extends Animal {} |
ohair@286 | 65 | * </pre> |
ohair@286 | 66 | * |
ohair@286 | 67 | * <p> |
ohair@286 | 68 | * This would allow you to do <tt>JAXBContext.newInstance(Animal.class)</tt>. |
ohair@286 | 69 | * By the help of this annotation, JAXB implementations will be able to |
ohair@286 | 70 | * correctly bind <tt>Dog</tt> and <tt>Cat</tt>. |
