@Retention(value=RUNTIME) @Target(value={FIELD,METHOD,PARAMETER}) 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>def </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 </foo>
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. Submit a bug or feature
