How to annotate a list using @XmlElement?

Question

I have the following annotation using javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement:

@XmlElement         
public List getKeywords() {
    r         


        

Answer 1

Use this form:

@XmlElementWrapper(name="keywords")
@XmlElement(name="keyword")

Please note that if keywords is empty then you will get .

Sometimes you will need to add @XmlRootElement to your class (depends on the context) and the @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.?) annotation. I usually use @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) and annotate my fields with @XmlElement.
