Snap of code what I was doing:

| @XmlRootElement
public class FooBar {
public String title;
public FooBar(String t) {
this.title = t;
}
}
@XmlRootElement
@XmlSeeAlso({FooBar.class})
public class FooBarSet extends ArrayList<FooBar> {
public FooBarSet() {
this.add(new FooBar("FooBar"));
}
}
|
Then, while marshaling:
1
2
3
| JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(FooBar.class);
Marshaller msh = ctx.createMarshaller();
msh.marshal(new FooBar(), System.out);
|
This is what I saw:
1
2
| <?xml version="1.0"?>
<FooBarSet/>
|
Why I am not getting the list of FooBar ??????
The Answer is the elements to be marshalled must be public, or have the @XMLElement anotation. The ArrayList class and my class FooBarSet do not match any of these rules. I have to define a method to offer the FooBar values, and anotate it.
So the modified class is:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
| @XmlRootElement
@XmlSeeAlso({FooBar.class})
public class FooBarSet extends ArrayList<FooBar> {
public FooBarSet() {
this.add(new FooBar("FooBar"));
}
@XmlElement(name = "FooBar")
public List<FooBar> getFooBarSet() {
return this;
}
}
|
Now the output:
1
2
3
4
5
| <fooBarSet>
<FooBar>
<title>FooBar</title>
</FooBar>
</fooBarSet>
