when i try to read the xlm file i get i get

com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException: 1 counts of IllegalAnnotationExceptions
Class has two properties of the same name "timeSeries"
    this problem is related to the following location:
        at public java.util.List testjaxp.ModeleREP.getTimeSeries()
        at testjaxp.ModeleREP
    this problem is related to the following location:
        at protected java.util.List testjaxp.ModeleREP.timeSeries
        at testjaxp.ModeleREP

i don't understand this error

edit: i use jaxb-impl-2.1.12

ok now i don't have any error, but when i check my object, timeSeries is null...

so maybe jaxb seem to have problem with flx?

Answer 1

just declare the member variables to private in the class you want to convert to XML. Happy coding

Answer 2

I've just run into this problem and solved it.

The source of the problem is that you have both XmlAccessType.FIELD and pairs of getters and setters. The solution is to remove setters and add a default constructor and a constructor that takes all fields.

Answer 3

You need to configure class ModeleREP as well with @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) as you did with class TimeSeries.

Have al look at OOXS

Answer 4

Your JAXB is looking at both the getTimeSeries() method and the member timeSeries. You don't say which JAXB implementation you're using, or its configuration, but the exception is fairly clear.

at public java.util.List testjaxp.ModeleREP.getTimeSeries()

and

at protected java.util.List testjaxp.ModeleREP.timeSeries

You need to configure you JAXB stuff to use annotations (as per your @XmlElement(name="TimeSeries")) and ignore public methods.

Answer 5

I had a service class with signature as below"

@WebMethod
public FetchIQAStatusResponseVO fetchIQAStatus(FetchIQAStatusRequest fetchIQAStatusRequest) {

On run I got the same error for FetchIQAStatusResponseVO fields. I just added a line on top of FetchIQAStatusResponseVO:

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) //This line added
public class FetchIQAStatusResponseVO {

and this resolved the issue.
