XmlAdapter
JAXB's XmlAdapter can be used to map classes that would normally be considered "unmappable" - such as classes that do not have a default no-arg constructor, or classes for which an XML representation cannot be automatically determined. In a custom subclass of XmlAdapter, you can define define custom code to convert the unmappable class into something that JAXB can handle. Then, you can use the XmlJavaTypeAdapter annotation to indicate that your adapter should be used when working with the unmappable class.
Example
Our first example will use the following domain class:
package example; import java.util.Currency; @XmlRootElement @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) public class PurchaseOrder { private Double amount; private Currency currency; ... }
