Handling nested elements in JAXB

Question

I am wondering if it is possible to have JAXB not to create Java object for XML elements that serve as wrappers. For example, for XML of the following structure

Answer 1

EclipseLink MOXy offers a JAXB 2.2 implementation with extensions. One of the extended capabilities is to use XPath to navigate through layers of the XML you don't want in you domain model.

If you look at:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/MOXy/GettingStarted/MOXyExtensions

you will notice that the Customer's name is stored within but that the name is a String attribute of Customer. This is accomplished using:

@XmlPath("personal-info/name/text()")
public String getName() {
    return name;
}

I hope this helps,
