JAXB - Ignore element

Question

Is there any way to just ignore an element from Jaxb parsing? I have a large XML file, and if I could ignore one of the large, complex elements, then it would probably parse

Answer 1

All what you need it's mark field as @XmlTransient (@XmlTransient annotation which should hide fields that are not required). Example below

JavaEE:

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
@XmlRootElement(name = "DeletedIds")
public class DeletedIds {

    @XmlElement(name = "DeletedId")
    private List id;    

    @XmlTransient
    @XmlElement(name = "success")
    private String success;

    //getters&setters
}

@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class DeletedId {

    private int id;

    //getters&setters
}

Xml:

    
        1
    
    
        2
