XML element with attribute has “:” in JAXB

Question

I have a problem when I am getting the attributes of a xml file. These attributes are written like this:

@XmlAttribute(name="xml:lang")

With @XmlAttribute I get attributes that they are written on a one word. If I leave this annotation @XmlAttribute(name="xml:lang") I get null

How can I get attribute's value of "xml:lang"?

Thanks.

xml is clearly a namespace prefix . You can try stating the namespace it with:

@XmlAttribute(name = "lang", 
              namespace = javax.xml.XMLConstants.XML_NS_URI)
