= One-to-Many Mapping =

+
This section illustrates how to map one-to-many relationships with Eclipselink.
+
 
+
The schema below shows a typical 1:M relationship between '''Customer''' and '''PhoneNumber''':
+
 
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
+
 
+
  <xsd:element name="customer" type="customer-type"/>
+
 
+
  <xsd:complexType name="customer-type">
+
      <xsd:sequence>
+
        <xsd:element name="first-name" type="xsd:string"/>
+
        <xsd:element name="last-name" type="xsd:string"/>
+
        <xsd:element name="phone-number" type="phone-type" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
+
      </xsd:sequence>
+
  </xsd:complexType>
+
+
  <xsd:complexType name="phone-type">
+
      <xsd:sequence>
+
        <xsd:attribute name="type" type="xsd:string"/>
+
        <xsd:element name="number" type="xsd:int"/>
+
      </xsd:sequence>
+
  </xsd:complexType>

</xsd:schema>

[[Image:Ccxm.gif|XML Composite Collection Mapping]]<br><br>
+
 
+
The following example shows how to annotate your Java class to obtain this mapping with EclipseLink.  The standard JAXB '''@XmlElement''' annotation, when used on a '''Collection''' or '''array''' field, can achieve this. 
+
 
+
<source lang="java">
+
@XmlRootElement
+
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
+
public class Customer {
+
  @XmlElement(name="first-name")
+
  private String firstName;
+
  @XmlElement(name="last-name")
+
  private String lastName;
+
  @XmlElement(name="phone-number")
+
  private List<PhoneNumber> phoneNumbers;
+
 
+
  ...
+
}
+
 
+
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
+
public class PhoneNumber {
+
  @XmlAttribute
+
  private String type;
+
  private Integer number;
+
 
+
  ...
+
}
+
</source>
+
 
+
The following example shows how to define your mapping information in EclipseLink's OXM metadata format.
+
 
+
<source lang="xml">
+
...
+
<java-type name="Customer">
+
  <xml-root-element name="customer"/>
+
  <java-attributes>
+
      <xml-element java-attribute="firstName" name="phone-number" type="java.lang.String"/>
+
      <xml-element java-attribute="lastName" name="phone-number" type="java.lang.String"/>
+
      <xml-element java-attribute="phoneNumbers" name="phone-number" type="PhoneNumber"/>
+
  </java-attributes>
+
</java-type>
+
 
+
<java-type name="PhoneNumber">
+
  <java-attributes>
+
      <xml-attribute java-attribute="type" type="java.lang.String"/>
+
      <xml-value java-attribute="number" type="java.lang.Integer"/>
+
  </java-attributes>
+
</java-type>
+
...
+
</source>
+
 
+
==Grouping Elements using EclipseLink's @XmlPath Annotation==
+
To make the elements of the '''Collection''' appear inside a grouping element, you can use '''@XmlPath''':
+
 
+
<source lang="java">
+
@XmlRootElement
+
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
+
public class Customer {
+
  @XmlPath("phone-numbers/phone-number")
+
  private List<PhoneNumber> phoneNumbers;
+
 
+
  ...
+
}
+
</source> 
+
 
+
This will produce the following XML:
+
 
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<customer>
+
  <first-name>Bob</first-name>
+
  <last-name>Smith</last-name>
+
  <phone-numbers>
+
      <phone-number type="Home">
+
        <number>5559827222</number>
+
      </phone-number>
+
      <phone-number type="Work">
+
        <number>5558872216</number>
+
      </phone-number>
+
  </phone-numbers>
+
</customer>
+
</source>
+
 
+
