34 * <p>
35 * Maps a JavaBean property to XML ID.
36 *
37 * <p>
38 * To preserve referential integrity of an object graph across XML
39 * serialization followed by a XML deserialization, requires an object
40 * reference to be marshalled by reference or containment
41 * appropriately. Annotations <tt>&#64;XmlID</tt> and <tt>&#64;XmlIDREF</tt>
42 * together allow a customized mapping of a JavaBean property's
43 * type by containment or reference.
44 *
45 * <p><b>Usage</b> </p>
46 * The <tt>&#64;XmlID</tt> annotation can be used with the following
47 * program elements:
48 * <ul>
49 * <li> a JavaBean property </li>
50 * <li> non static, non transient field </li>
51 * </ul>
52 *
53 * <p>See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
54 * additional common information.</p>
55 *
56 * The usage is subject to the following constraints:
57 * <ul>
58 * <li> At most one field or property in a class can be annotated
59 * with <tt>&#64;XmlID</tt>. </li>
60 * <li> The JavaBean property's type must be <tt>java.lang.String</tt>.</li>
61 * <li> The only other mapping annotations that can be used
62 * with <tt>&#64;XmlID</tt>
63 * are:<tt>&#64;XmlElement</tt> and <tt>&#64;XmlAttribute</tt>.</li>
64 * </ul>
65 *
66 * <p><b>Example</b>: Map a JavaBean property's type to <tt>xs:ID</tt></p>
67 * <pre>
68 * // Example: code fragment
69 * public class Customer {
70 * &#64;XmlAttribute
71 * &#64;XmlID
72 * public String getCustomerID();
73 * public void setCustomerID(String id);
74 * .... other properties not shown
75 * }
76 *
77 * &lt;!-- Example: XML Schema fragment -->
78 * &lt;xs:complexType name="Customer">
79 * &lt;xs:complexContent>
80 * &lt;xs:sequence>
81 * ....
82 * &lt;/xs:sequence>
83 * &lt;xs:attribute name="customerID" type="xs:ID"/>
84 * &lt;/xs:complexContent>
85 * &lt;/xs:complexType>
86 * </pre>
