Virtual Access Methods
In addition to the standard JAXB access methods (public member, field, property, etc.), EclipseLink MOXy 2.3 introduces the concept of "virtual access methods", which instead rely on special get() and set() methods to maintain mapping data. For example, you might want to use a HashMap as the underlying data structure to hold all of your mapping data.
Example Model
For this example we will use the following Employee class. In addition to some conventional JAXB mappings, we also specify that this class contains virtual access methods by including the @XmlVirtualAccessMethods annotation.
@XmlRootElement @XmlVirtualAccessMethods @XmlAccessorType(AccessType.PROPERTY) public class Customer { private int id; private String name; private Map<String, Object> extensions = new HashMap<String, Object>(); public Object get(String name) { return extensions.get(name); } public void set(String name, Object value) { extensions.put(name, value); } @XmlAttribute public int getId() { ... }
XmlAccessorType and XmlTransient
If you are using an @XmlAccessorType other than AccessType.PROPERTY, you will need to mark your virtual properties Map attribute to be @XmlTransient, to prevent the Map itself from being bound to XML.
@XmlRootElement @XmlVirtualAccessMethods @XmlAccessorType(AccessType.FIELD) public class Customer { @XmlTransient private Map<String, Object> extensions; ...
