public @interface XmlList
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:
<foo>
<data>abc</data>
<data>def</data>
</foo>
@XmlList annotation, on the other hand, allows multiple values to be
represented as whitespace-separated tokens in a single element. For example,
@XmlRootElement
class Foo {
@XmlElement
@XmlList
List<String> data;
}
the above code will produce XML like this:
<foo>
<data>abc def</data>
</foo>
This annotation can be used with the following annotations:
XmlElement,
XmlAttribute,
XmlValue,
XmlIDREF.
@XmlList with XmlValue while
allowed, is redundant since XmlList maps a
collection type to a simple schema type that derives by
list just as XmlValue would. @XmlList with XmlAttribute while
allowed, is redundant since XmlList maps a
collection type to a simple schema type that derives by
list just as XmlAttribute would.
