Package jakarta.xml.bind.annotation

Annotation Interface XmlAnyAttribute

@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target({FIELD,METHOD}) public @interface XmlAnyAttribute

Maps a JavaBean property to a map of wildcard attributes.

Usage

The @XmlAnyAttribute annotation can be used with the following program elements:

  • JavaBean property
  • non static, non transient field

See "Package Specification" in jakarta.xml.bind.package javadoc for additional common information.

The usage is subject to the following constraints:
  • At most one field or property in a class can be annotated with @XmlAnyAttribute.
  • The type of the property or the field must java.util.Map

While processing attributes to be unmarshalled into a value class, each attribute that is not statically associated with another JavaBean property, via XmlAttribute, is entered into the wildcard attribute map represented by Map<QName,Object>. The attribute QName is the map's key. The key's value is the String value of the attribute.
