Phase 1 - Provide MOXy annotation support equivalent to our XML metadata support
This phase of development involves providing MOXy annotation support equivalent to the existing EclipseLink XML metadata support
Annotations
The following annotations will be targeted in this phase:
Annotation | XML Metadata Tag | Package | Type | Field | Method |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
XmlReadOnly | read-only | X | X | ||
XmlWriteOnly | write-only | X | X | ||
XmlCDATA | cdata | X | X | ||
XmlAccessMethods | xml-access-methods | X | X | ||
XmlPaths | xml-elements | X | X | ||
XmlNullPolicy | xml-null-policy | X | X | ||
XmlIsSetNullPolicy | xml-is-set-null-policy | X | X | ||
XmlIsSetParameters | n/a | X | X | ||
XmlIsSetParameter | is-set-parameter | X | X |
Example: XmlReadOnly annotation
Java Metadata
The following example will demonstrate how the XmlReadOnly annotation can be applied:
A property can be configured to be read-only via XML metadata as follows:
eclipselink-oxm.xml
<xml-attribute java-attribute="salary" read-only="true" />
The equivalent configured via annotations would look like:
org.example.Employee.java
package org.example; public class Employee { @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAttribute @org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations.XmlReadOnly public String salary; }
