Annotation Type XmlSchema

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=PACKAGE)
public @interface XmlSchema

Maps a package name to a XML namespace.

Usage

The XmlSchema annotation can be used with the following program elements:

• package

This is a package level annotation and follows the recommendations and restrictions contained in JSR 175, section III, "Annotations". Thus the usage is subject to the following constraints and recommendations.

• There can only be one package declaration as noted in JSR 175, section III, "Annotations".
• JSR 175 recommends package-info.java for package level annotations. JAXB Providers that follow this recommendation will allow the package level annotations to be defined in package-info.java.

Example 1: Customize name of XML namespace to which package is mapped.

@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema (
      namespace = "http://www.example.com/MYPO1"
    )

    <!-- XML Schema fragment -->
    <schema
      xmlns=...
      xmlns:po=....
      targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/MYPO1"
    >
    <!-- prefixes generated by default are implementation
            depedenent -->

Example 2: Customize namespace prefix, namespace URI mapping

// Package level annotation
    @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema (
      xmlns = {
        @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(prefix = "po",
                   namespaceURI="http://www.example.com/myPO1"),

        @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(prefix="xs",
                   namespaceURI="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema")
      )
    )

    <!-- XML Schema fragment -->
    <schema
        xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
        xmlns:po="http://www.example.com/PO1"
        targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/PO1">

Example 3: Customize elementFormDefault

@javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema (
      elementFormDefault=XmlNsForm.UNQUALIFIED
      ...
    )

    <!-- XML Schema fragment -->
    <schema
        xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
        xmlns:po="http://www.example.com/PO1"
        elementFormDefault="unqualified">

Fields

NO_LOCATION

public static final String NO_LOCATION

The default value of the location() attribute, which indicates that the schema generator will generate components in this namespace.

Elements

xmlns

public abstract XmlNs[] xmlns

Customize the namespace URI, prefix associations. By default, the namespace prefixes for a XML namespace are generated by a JAXB Provider in an implementation dependent way.

Default:

{}

namespace

public abstract String namespace

Name of the XML namespace.

Default:

""

elementFormDefault

public abstract XmlNsForm elementFormDefault

Namespace qualification for elements. By default, element default attribute will be absent from the XML Schema fragment.

Default:

javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.UNSET

attributeFormDefault

public abstract XmlNsForm attributeFormDefault

Namespace qualification for attributes. By default, attributesFormDefault will be absent from the XML Schema fragment.

Default:

javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.UNSET

location

public abstract String location

Since:

JAXB2.1

Default:

"##generate"
