JAXB XML Unmarshalling creates xml classes's fields as well

Question

I have an xml and and at that XML I have too many child fields such like . From the documentation that I read, I see that JAXB auto generated xml to pojo classes but there is a remark there , JAXB can create fields as well ? I meant do i have to create Employee class and its methods such like String job, String id myself or JAXB will create it themselves ? If my question is not clear, I can provide sample codes.

Cheers Alper

        <code>
           <Employee>
             <id>121</id>
             <name>Alper</name>
           </Employee>
        </code>

Do I have to create String id; String name; as well ?

Answer 1

You have 2 options:

1. To create necessary Java classes (eg Employee) manually
2. To use XML schema to generate classes

But XML sample itself is not enough surely.

Answer 2

you can generate POJO or java class from JAXB in eclipse, command line or maven.

you can file below several tutorials to learn this:
