Terminology

JavaBean property and field: For the purposes of mapping, there is no semantic difference between a field and a JavaBean property. Thus, an annotation that can be applied to a JavaBean property can always be applied to a field. Hence in the Javadoc documentation, for brevity, the term JavaBean property or property is used to mean either JavaBean property or a field. Where required, both are explicitly mentioned.

top level class: For the purpose of mapping, there is no semantic difference between a top level class and a static nested class. Thus, an annotation that can be applied to a top level class, can always be applied to a nested static class. Hence in the Javadoc documentation, for brevity, the term "top level class" or just class is used to mean either a top level class or a nested static class.

mapping annotation:A JAXB 2.0 defined program annotation based on the JSR 175 programming annotation facility.

Common Usage Constraints

The following usage constraints are defined here since they apply to more than annotation:

  • For a property, a given annotation can be applied to either read or write property but not both.
  • A property name must be different from any other property name in any of the super classes of the class being mapped.
  • A mapped field name or the decapitalized name of a mapped property must be unique within a class.

Notations

Namespace prefixes

The following namespace prefixes are used in the XML Schema fragments in this package.
