JAXB translate element name when marshalling/un-marshalling

Question

I am generating a java class from xsd which is used in to marshal/un-marshal xml.

I have an element currently defined in my xsd as

<xs:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="versionLabel" type="xs:string"/>

which results in a java class containing

String versionLabel

and setters and getters, setVersionLabel() / getVersionLabel() .

I want the incoming/outgoing xml element to be <version> and for that to translate to/from the java class property "versionLabel". How do I do define that behavior in the xsd?

Answer 1

add @XmlElement annotation to the attribute and update your xsd if it used for any validation

    @XmlElement(name = "version")
    String versionLabel;
