@Retention(value=RUNTIME) @Target(value={FIELD,METHOD,PARAMETER}) public @interface XmlList
Used to map a property to a list simple type.
Usage
The @XmlList annotation can be used with the following program elements:
When a collection property is annotated just with @XmlElement, each item in the collection will be wrapped by an element. For example,
@XmlRootElement class Foo { @XmlElement List<String> data; }would produce XML like this:
@XmlList annotation, on the other hand, allows multiple values to be represented as whitespace-separated tokens in a single element. For example,abc def
@XmlRootElement class Foo { @XmlElement @XmlList List<String> data; }the above code will produce XML like this:
abc def
This annotation can be used with the following annotations:
XmlElement
,
XmlAttribute
,
XmlValue
,
XmlIDREF
.
XmlValue
while
allowed, is redundant since XmlList
maps a
collection type to a simple schema type that derives by
list just as XmlValue
would. XmlAttribute
while
allowed, is redundant since XmlList
maps a
collection type to a simple schema type that derives by
list just as XmlAttribute
would.
