使用Jaxb API将XML解组到Java对象时获取NullPointerException

Question

I am getting the below NullPointerException while performing unmarshalling:

    ID and SortOrder----------------------------------
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at XmlToObject.main(XmlToObject.java:21)

Could you please let me know where am I wrong with the code. I think I am performing some wrong annotation work here. Below is my code files. Please help.

site.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Navigation>
    <NavigationEntry id="3DAB2FFB-1F19-41C6-B38D-77A890DB4D40" sortOrder="1">
        <hidepage>
            a
        </hidepage>
        <name>
            b
        </name>
        <url>
            c
        </url>

Well. got the answer. I have not added @XmlElement(name="NavigationEntry") in the Navigation.java

The issue is fixed. :)
