如何使用JAXB生成没有XML根元素的XML文档

Question

Sometimes I would like to generate the XML document like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<properties>
</properties>
<context>
</context>

Do not with root elment, not like this:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <root>
     <properties>
     </properties>
     <context>
     </context>
 </root>

Here is my Class:

//@XmlRootElement(name="root")
public class WithoutRootElement {

    private String properties;
    Private String context;

    @XmlElement(name="properties")
    public String getProperties() {...}

    @XmlElement(name="context")
    public String getContext() {...}
}

How to do this?

Answer 1

What you want is not valid XML. So neither JAXB nor any other technologie can produce a "document" like this.

Answer 2

According to the Well-formedness of an XML:

There is a single "root" element that contains all the other elements.
