JAXB's @XmlTransient and Property Order

In previous articles I wrote about how the @XmlTransient annotation can be used at the type level to have a class excluded from the inheritance hierarchy, or at the field/property level to unmap a field/property.  In this article I'll demonstrate how doing this impacts the propOrder setting on the @XmlType annotation.

JAXB's @XmlType and propOrder

In this post I will demonstrate how to use the propOrder property on the @XmlType annotation to control the ordering of XML elements.  I will also discuss the impact of @XmlAccessorType on how propOrder is configured.

JAXB and Factory Methods

Everyone knows that by default JAXB uses the no-argument constructor when instantiating objects.  Readers of this blog are also familiar with using XmlAdapters to build objects.  In this post I'll cover how the use of factory classes and methods can be configured through the @XmlType annotation.

JAXB & Namespaces

The majority of XML documents are namespace qualified, yet most XML binding examples do not demonstrate namespaces (sometimes because the XML binding solution does not support them). In this post I'll demonstrate how easy namespace handling is using JAXB.
