ohair@286: * Maps a class or an enum type to a XML Schema type. ohair@286: * ohair@286: *

Usage

ohair@286: *

The @XmlType annnotation can be used with the following program ohair@286: * elements: ohair@286: *

ohair@286: * ohair@286: *

See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for ohair@286: * additional common information.

Mapping a Class

ohair@286: *

ohair@286: * A class maps to a XML Schema type. A class is a data container for ohair@286: * values represented by properties and fields. A schema type is a ohair@286: * data container for values represented by schema components within a ohair@286: * schema type's content model (e.g. model groups, attributes etc). ohair@286: *

To be mapped, a class must either have a public no-arg ohair@286: * constructor or a static no-arg factory method. The static factory ohair@286: * method can be specified in factoryMethod() and ohair@286: * factoryClass() annotation elements. The static factory ohair@286: * method or the no-arg constructor is used during unmarshalling to ohair@286: * create an instance of this class. If both are present, the static ohair@286: * factory method overrides the no-arg constructor. ohair@286: *

ohair@286: * A class maps to either a XML Schema complex type or a XML Schema simple ohair@286: * type. The XML Schema type is derived based on the ohair@286: * mapping of JavaBean properties and fields contained within the ohair@286: * class. The schema type to which the class is mapped can either be ohair@286: * named or anonymous. A class can be mapped to an anonymous schema ohair@286: * type by annotating the class with @XmlType(name=""). ohair@286: *

ohair@286: * Either a global element, local element or a local attribute can be ohair@286: * associated with an anonymous type as follows: ohair@286: *

ohair@286: * Mapping to XML Schema Complex Type ohair@286: * ohair@286: * ohair@286: *

ohair@286: * Mapping class to XML Schema simple type ohair@286: *

ohair@286: * A class can be mapped to a XML Schema simple type using the ohair@286: * @XmlValue annotation. For additional details and examples, ohair@286: * see @{@link XmlValue} annotation type. ohair@286: *

ohair@286: * The following table shows the mapping of the class to a XML Schema ohair@286: * complex type or simple type. The notational symbols used in the table are: ohair@286: *

ohair@286: * ohair@286: *

Mapping an enum type

ohair@286: * ohair@286: * An enum type maps to a XML schema simple type with enumeration ohair@286: * facets. The following annotation elements are ignored since they ohair@286: * are not meaningful: propOrder() , factoryMethod() , ohair@286: * factoryClass() . ohair@286: * ohair@286: *

Usage with other annotations

ohair@286: *

This annotation can be used with the following annotations: ohair@286: * {@link XmlRootElement}, {@link XmlAccessorOrder}, {@link XmlAccessorType}, ohair@286: * {@link XmlEnum}. However, {@link ohair@286: * XmlAccessorOrder} and {@link XmlAccessorType} are ignored when this ohair@286: * annotation is used on an enum type. ohair@286: * ohair@286: *

Example 1: Map a class to a complex type with ohair@286: * xs:sequence with a customized ordering of JavaBean properties. ohair@286: *

ohair@286: * ohair@286: *
ohair@286:  *   @XmlType(propOrder={"street", "city" , "state", "zip", "name" })
ohair@286:  *   public class USAddress {
ohair@286:  *     String getName() {..};
ohair@286:  *     void setName(String) {..};
ohair@286:  *
ohair@286:  *     String getStreet() {..};
ohair@286:  *     void setStreet(String) {..};
ohair@286:  *
ohair@286:  *     String getCity() {..};
ohair@286:  *     void setCity(String) {..};
ohair@286:  *
ohair@286:  *     String getState() {..};
ohair@286:  *     void setState(String) {..};
ohair@286:  *
ohair@286:  *     java.math.BigDecimal getZip() {..};
ohair@286:  *     void setZip(java.math.BigDecimal) {..};
ohair@286:  *   }
ohair@286:  *
ohair@286:  *   <!-- XML Schema mapping for USAddress -->
ohair@286:  *   <xs:complexType name="USAddress">
ohair@286:  *     <xs:sequence>
ohair@286:  *       <xs:element name="street" type="xs:string"/>
ohair@286:  *       <xs:element name="city" type="xs:string"/>

ohair@286:  *     </xs:all>
ohair@286:  *   </xs:complexType>
ohair@286:  * 
ohair@286: *

Example 2: Map a class to a complex type with ohair@286: * xs:all

ohair@286: *
ohair@286:  * @XmlType(propOrder={})
ohair@286:  * public class USAddress { ...}

ohair@286:  *   </xs:sequence>
ohair@286:  * </xs:complexType>
ohair@286:  *
ohair@286: *

Example 3: Map a class to a global element with an ohair@286: * anonymous type. ohair@286: *

ohair@286:  *   @XmlRootElement
ohair@286:  *   @XmlType(name="")
ohair@286:  *   public class USAddress { ...}
ohair@286:  *
ohair@286:  *   <!-- XML Schema mapping for USAddress -->
