How RuntimeAnnotationReader can be used for JAXB annotations to read Custom Annotations and control class fields at runtime.While searching on google i found this link http://glassfish.10926.n7.nabble.com/injecting-JAXB-annotations-at-runtime-td59852.html but i couldn't gather much information about RuntimeAnnotationReader. I have the following reqirement: Suppose I have a class name Person.java
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSeeAlso;
@XmlRootElement(name="Person")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlSeeAlso({Student.class})
public class Person <T>{
private T payload;
@XmlElement(name = "Person-Name")
private String name;
public void setPayload(T payload){
this.payload = payload;
}
public T getPayload(){
return payload;
}
public void setName(String name){
this.name = name;
}
public String getName(){
return name;
}
}
and student.java:
package RuntimeAnnotation;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Student {
@XmlElement
private String name;
@XmlElement
private String id;
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getName(){
return name;
}
public void setId(String id){
this.id = id;
}
public String getId(){
return id;
}
}
While initializing person class object, i am setting payload field as student object. Now while marshalling XML output shows payload as tagname, but I want student should be appear at tagname.
Marshal output:
<Person>
<payload xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="student">
<name>ABC</name>
<id>239423</id>
</payload>
<Person-Name>XYZ</Person-Name>
</Person>
Expected output:
<Person>
<T>
<name>ABC</name>
<id>239423</id>
<T>
<Person-Name>XYZ</Person-Name>
</Person>
P.S.: should be the parametrized class name. In the above case T should be Student.
