Do you know of a JAXB setting to prevent standalone="yes" from being generated in the resulting XML?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
marshaller.setProperty("com.sun.xml.bind.xmlDeclaration", Boolean.FALSE);
can be used to have no
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
However i wouldnt consider this best practice.
in JAXB that is part of JDK1.6
marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FRAGMENT, Boolean.TRUE);
You can either use
marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FRAGMENT, Boolean.TRUE);
or
marshaller.setProperty("com.sun.xml.bind.xmlDeclaration", Boolean.FALSE)
to disable the default XML declaration, and then add your custom XML declaration,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
by
marshaller.setProperty("com.sun.xml.bind.xmlHeaders",
"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>");
to the generated xml, thus avoiding the standalone="yes" property.
just if someone else is still struggeling with this problem, you may consider using
marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FRAGMENT, Boolean.TRUE);
to remove all of the XML declaration and just write your own String
at the beginning of your output stream / method
If you make document dependent on DOCTYPE
(e.g. use named entities) then it will stop being standalone, thus standalone="yes"
won't be allowed in XML declaration.
However standalone XML can be used anywhere, while non-standalone is problematic for XML parsers that don't load externals.
I don't see how this declaration could be a problem, other than for interoperability with software that doesn't support XML, but some horrible regex soup.
jaxbMarshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FRAGMENT, Boolean.TRUE);
jaxbMarshaller.setProperty("com.sun.xml.internal.bind.xmlHeaders", "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"no\"?>");
This worked for me with JDK1.7. standalone=\"no\" can be removed to get only rest of the xml part
If you are using only the default javax.xml package, you could set the JAXB_FRAGMENT option of the marshaller to 'true' (this omits the default xml processing instruction) and use the writeProcessingInstruction method of the XMLStreamWriter to insert your own:
xmlStreamWriter.writeProcessingInstruction("xml", "version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"");
jaxbMarshaller.setProperty( Marshaller.JAXB_FRAGMENT, Boolean.TRUE);
jaxbMarshaller.marshal(object, xmlStreamWriter);
xmlStreamWriter.writeEndDocument();
You can use: marshaller.setProperty("jaxb.fragment", Boolean.TRUE);
It works for me on Java 8
I don't have a high enough "reputation" to have the "privilege" to comment. ;-)
@Debasis, note that the property you've specified:
"com.sun.xml.internal.bind.xmlHeaders"
should be:
"com.sun.xml.bind.xmlHeaders" (without the "internal", which are not meant to be used by the public)
If I use the "internal" property as you did, I get a javax.xml.bind.PropertyException
