public @interface XmlMixed
Annotate a JavaBean multi-valued property to support mixed content.
The usage is subject to the following constraints:
The following can be inserted into @XmlMixed annotated multi-valued property
JAXBElement
or instances with a class that is annotated with
@XmlRootElement.Element
. (Assumes property annotated with @XmlAnyElement)
<!-- schema fragment having mixed content -->
<xs:complexType name="letterBody" mixed="true">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="quantity" type="xs:positiveInteger"/>
<xs:element name="productName" type="xs:string"/>
<!-- etc. -->
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="letterBody" type="letterBody"/>
// Schema-derived Java code:
// (Only annotations relevant to mixed content are shown below,
// others are omitted.)
import java.math.BigInteger;
public class ObjectFactory {
// element instance factories
JAXBElement<LetterBody> createLetterBody(LetterBody value);
JAXBElement<String> createLetterBodyName(String value);
JAXBElement<BigInteger> createLetterBodyQuantity(BigInteger value);
JAXBElement<String> createLetterBodyProductName(String value);
// type instance factory
LetterBody createLetterBody();
}
public class LetterBody { // Mixed content can contain instances of Element classes // Name, Quantity and ProductName. Text data is represented as // java.util.String for text. @XmlMixed @XmlElementRefs({ @XmlElementRef(name="productName", type=JAXBElement.class), @XmlElementRef(name="quantity", type=JAXBElement.class), @XmlElementRef(name="name", type=JAXBElement.class)}) List getContent(){...} }The following is an XML instance document with mixed content
<letterBody>
Dear Mr.<name>Robert Smith</name>
Your order of <quantity>1</quantity> <productName>Baby
Monitor</productName> shipped from our warehouse. ....
</letterBody>
that can be constructed using following JAXB API calls.
LetterBody lb = ObjectFactory.createLetterBody();
JAXBElement<LetterBody> lbe = ObjectFactory.createLetterBody(lb);
List gcl = lb.getContent(); //add mixed content to general content property.
gcl.add("Dear Mr."); // add text information item as a String.
// add child element information item
gcl.add(ObjectFactory.createLetterBodyName("Robert Smith"));
gcl.add("Your order of "); // add text information item as a String
// add children element information items
gcl.add(ObjectFactory.
createLetterBodyQuantity(new BigInteger("1")));
gcl.add(ObjectFactory.createLetterBodyProductName("Baby Monitor"));
gcl.add("shipped from our warehouse"); // add text information item
