JAXB忽略package-info.java中的@XmlAccessorFactory

Question

We have written our own AccessorFactory to serialize our POJO in XML, so we have created package-info.java and added the annotation @XmlAccessorFactory in this file.

@XmlAccessorFactory(MeiAccessorFactory.class)
package com.meicpg.ti.domain;

All our POJO are annotated with @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE), and we have annotated all fields that have to be serialized with @XmlElement

Most of the time the serialization works well, but sometimes on dev's machine (in production we don't have this issue, and developer who works on Unix ) POJO aren't serialized.

I have tried to annotate one of the POJO with @XmlAccessorFactory, and it has been serialized correctly. On another POJO, I moved @XmlElement annotations on getters and it has been serialized correctly too.

Before to apply one of this solution on all my POJO, I would like to know if somebody has already met this weird behaviour and found why annotations in package-info.java are ignored.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I tried to add other annotations in package-info.java (like @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE) because we use it in every POJO), and it seems that all annotations in package-info is ignored. Any idea?

If annotations in package-info are being ignored be sure of the following:

1. Your package annotations are defined in a file called package-info.java .
2. Your package-info.java source file is being compiled into package-info.class .
3. The package-info annotations will only apply to classes within that package. You will not see them impact classes in other packages so you may need other package-info classes.
