Maps an enum constant in Enum
type to XML representation. Usage
The @XmlEnumValue
annotation can be used with the following program elements:
- enum constant
See "Package Specification" in javax.xml.bind.package javadoc for
additional common information.
This annotation, together with XmlEnum
provides a mapping of enum type to XML representation.
An enum type is mapped to a schema simple type with enumeration facets. The schema type is derived from the Java type specified in @XmlEnum.value()
. Each enum constant @XmlEnumValue
must have a valid lexical representation for the type @XmlEnum.value()
In the absence of this annotation, Enum.name()
is used as the XML representation.
Example 1: Map enum constant name -> enumeration facet
//Example: Code fragment @XmlEnum(String.class) public enum Card { CLUBS, DIAMONDS, HEARTS, SPADES }
<!-- Example: XML Schema fragment -->
<xs:simpleType name="Card">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>
<xs:enumeration value="CLUBS"/>
<xs:enumeration value="DIAMONDS"/>
<xs:enumeration value="HEARTS"/>
<xs:enumeration value="SPADES"/>
</xs:simpleType>
Example 2: Map enum constant name(value) -> enumeration facet
//Example: code fragment @XmlType @XmlEnum(Integer.class) public enum Coin { @XmlEnumValue("1") PENNY(1), @XmlEnumValue("5") NICKEL(5), @XmlEnumValue("10") DIME(10), @XmlEnumValue("25") QUARTER(25) }
<!-- Example: XML Schema fragment -->
<xs:simpleType name="Coin">
<xs:restriction base="xs:int">
<xs:enumeration value="1"/>
<xs:enumeration value="5"/>
<xs:enumeration value="10"/>
<xs:enumeration value="25"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
Example 3: Map enum constant name -> enumeration facet
//Code fragment @XmlType @XmlEnum(Integer.class) public enum Code { @XmlEnumValue("1") ONE, @XmlEnumValue("2") TWO; }
<!-- Example: XML Schema fragment -->
<xs:simpleType name="Code">
<xs:restriction base="xs:int">
<xs:enumeration value="1"/>
<xs:enumeration value="2"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
