Annotation Type XmlWriteOnly


@Target({FIELD,METHOD}) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface XmlWriteOnly

Purpose: This annotation indicates that a specific property should be flagged as write-only by EclipseLink. The value for this property will be written out to XML during a marshal, but ignored during unmarshal if flagged as write-only.

Example:
 @XmlRootElement(name="customer")
 public class Customer {
    ...
    @XmlElement
    @XmlWriteOnly
    public String firstName
    ...
 }
