How to unmarshal nested child elements in java with same tag name?

Question

In Java I am able to read XML by adding the values into my POJO. But I am not sure how would I able to do the same with sub-child nodes. I provided my POJO example and the X

You need to put something like this:

@XmlElement(name = "ip_addresses")
private IPAddresses ipAddresses;

and IPAddresses POJO class:

@XmlRootElement(name = "ip_addresses")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class IPAddresses implements Serializable {
    private final static long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @XmlElement(name = "ip_address")
    private List ipAddresses;

    public List getIpAddresses() {
        return ipAddresses;
    }
    public void setIpAddresses(List ipAddresses) {
        this.ipAddresses = ipAddresses;
    }
}

Where IPAddress is another POJO class that describes the structure of the individual element.

@XmlRootElement(name = "ip_address")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class IPAddress implements Serializable {
    private final static long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    @XmlValue
    protected String content;
    @XmlAttribute(name = "type")
    protected String type;

    public void setContent(String content) {
        this.content = content;
    }
    public String getContent() {
        return content;
    }

    public void setType(String content) {
        this.type = type;
    }
    public String getType() {
        return type;
    }
}

EDIT To print them do something like this:

for (IPAddress ipAddress in custinfo.getIpAddresses().getIpAddresses()) {
    System.out.println("value: " + ipAddress.getContent());
    System.out.println("type: " + ipAddress.getType());
}
