MOXy: <xml-attribute> and JSON [message #789356] Thu, 02 February 2012 22:28 Go to next message

I have an OXM mapping file that is used to marshall my objects to JSON (and to XML). The mappings I have supplied as xml-attribute work when creating XML, but do not appear when marshalling to JSON.

Is this expected behavior? Is there another approach I should be using?

It turns out that only the "read-only" attributes are not be written out with JSON. Again, is this expected behavior?

This is expected behaviour. If you specify a mapping as "read-only" then it will not be marshalled to XML or JSON.

<xml-attribute java-attribute="foo" read-only="true"/>


Below is complete example demonstrating an object mapping with MOXy's external mapping document with an attribute property marshalled to both XML and JSON:

feb3.Root

The following will be used as the domain model:

package feb3;

public class Root {

    private String foo;

    public String getFoo() {
        return foo;
    }

    public void setFoo(String foo) {
        this.foo = foo;
    }

}


feb3/oxm.xml

We will use MOXy's external mapping document to map the foo property as an XML attribute.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xml-bindings
    xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/xsds/persistence/oxm"
    package-name="feb3">
    <java-types>
        <java-type name="Root">
            <xml-root-element name="rss"/>
            <java-attributes>
                <xml-attribute java-attribute="foo"/>
            </java-attributes>
        </java-type>
    </java-types>
</xml-bindings>


feb3.Demo

The following code demonstrates how to bootstrap from MOXy's external mapping document, and how to marshal to both XML (default) and JSON.

package feb3;

import java.util.*;
import javax.xml.bind.*;
import org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBContextFactory;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>(1);
        properties.put(JAXBContextFactory.ECLIPSELINK_OXM_XML_KEY, "feb3/oxm.xml");
        JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[] {Root.class}, properties);

        Marshaller marshaller = jc.createMarshaller();
        marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);

        Root root = new Root();
        root.setFoo("Hello World");

        // Marshal to XML
        marshaller.marshal(root, System.out);

        // Marshal to JSON
        marshaller.setProperty("eclipselink.media-type", "application/json");
        marshaller.marshal(root, System.out);
    }

}


Output

Here is the XML and JSON output from running the demo code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss foo="Hello World"/>
{"rss" : 
   {"foo" : "Hello World"}}

Thanks for the quick reply. Stupid me, I had the meaning of read-only and write-only backwards. I was look at it from the perspective of the Java class property, but it looks like I need to think of it from the perspective of the JAXBContext!
