== JAXB Bindings ==
+
−
 
+
−
In this example, the XML acessor type will be set to '''FIELD''' for all the model classes. This can be set as a package level JAXB annotation.
+
−
 
+
−
<source lang="java">
+
−
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
+
−
package com.example.model;
+
−
 
+
−
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType;
+
−
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
+
−
</source>
+
−
 
+
−
=== Target Object ===
+
−
Because this example requires support beyond the JAXB specification, you can use the EclipseLink extension '''@XmlKey'''. Because the relationship is bidirectional, use the EclipseLink extension '''@XmlInverseReference'''.
+
−
 
+
−
<source lang="java">
+
−
@Entity
+
−
@IdClass(EmployeeId.class)
+
−
public class Employee {
+
−
 
+
−
    @Id
+
−
    @Column(name="E_ID")
+
−
    @XmlID
+
−
    private BigDecimal eId;
+
−
 
+
−
    @Id
+
−
    @XmlKey
+
−
    private String country;
+
−
 
+
−
    @OneToMany(mappedBy="contact")
+
−
    @XmlInverseReference(mappedBy="contact")
+
−
    private List<PhoneNumber> contactNumber;
+
−
 
+
−
}
+
−
</source>
+
−
 
+
−
=== Source Object ===
+
−
Because the target object has a compound key, use the EclipseLink extension '''@XmlJoinNodes''' to set up the mapping.
+
−
 
+
−
'''Note''': If the target object had a ''single'' ID, then you could use '''@XmlIDREF'''.
+
−
 
+
−
<source lang="java">
+
−
@Entity
+
−
public class PhoneNumber {
+
−
 
+
−
    @ManyToOne
+
−
    @JoinColumns({
+
−
        @JoinColumn(name="E_ID", referencedColumnName = "E_ID"),
+
−
        @JoinColumn(name="E_COUNTRY", referencedColumnName = "COUNTRY")
+
−
    })
+
−
    @XmlJoinNodes( {
+
−
        @XmlJoinNode(xmlPath="contact/id/text()", referencedXmlPath="id/text()"),
+
−
        @XmlJoinNode(xmlPath="contact/country/text()", referencedXmlPath="country/text()")
