Mapping Enums
Java enums can be mapped to XML using the @XmlEnum and @XmlEnumValue annotations.
Mapping enum constant name
The following schema demonstrates an XML enumeration:
<xs:simpleType name="CustomerType"> <xs:restriction base="xs:string"/> <xs:enumeration value="PROMO_CUSTOMER"/> <xs:enumeration value="NEW_CUSTOMER"/> <xs:enumeration value="VIP"/> <xs:enumeration value="NORMAL"/> </xs:simpleType>
If your enum constant names themselves are sufficient for the XML representation, you can simply use the @XmlEnum annotation:
@XmlRootElement @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) public class Customer { private CustomerType type = CustomerType.NEW_CUSTOMER; @XmlEnum(String.class) private enum CustomerType { PROMO_CUSTOMER, NEW_CUSTOMER, VIP, NORMAL } ... }
When marshalled to XML, a Customer would look like this:
<customer> <type>NEW_CUSTOMER</type> </customer>
Mapping enum with Values
For non-String enumerations, such as:
<xs:simpleType name="RewardLevel"> <xs:restriction base="xs:int"> <xs:enumeration value="1"/> <xs:enumeration value="5"/> <xs:enumeration value="10"/> <xs:enumeration value="25"/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType>
The @XmlEnumValue annotation is used to provide an XML value for each enum constant:
@XmlRootElement @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) public class Customer { private RewardLevel discount = RewardLevel.NONE; @XmlEnum(Integer.class) private enum RewardLevel { @XmlEnumValue("0") NONE(0), @XmlEnumValue("5") BRONZE(5), @XmlEnumValue("10") SILVER(10), @XmlEnumValue("25") GOLD(25), @XmlEnumValue("40") PLATINUM(40); ... }
When marshalled to XML, a Customer would look like this:
<customer> <discount>0</discount> </customer>
