Hey Forum!
I'm trying to use EclipseLink MOXy to marshal some models into XML. Therefor I would like to use ObjectGraphs to have a custom and different output of what is serialized into xml.

But when I try to implement the good examples of Blaise Doughan's blog (title: MOXy's Object Graphs - Input/Output Partial Models to XML & JSON) with Maven, I got following exception:
javax.xml.bind.PropertyException: name: eclipselink.object-graph value: contact info


Thats the used pom.xml:
<project xmlns="..." xmlns:xsi="..."
  xsi:schemaLocation="... ...">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <groupId>main</groupId>
  <artifactId>eclipselink_test</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>jar</packaging>

  <name>eclipselink_test</name>
  <url>link-to-maven</url>

  <properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
  </properties>

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>3.8.1</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
		<artifactId>org.eclipse.persistence.moxy</artifactId>
		<version>2.5.1</version>
	</dependency>
    <dependency>
		<groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
		<artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
		<version>2.2.11</version>
	</dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>


This is the model (Model.java):
package main.eclipselink_test;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAttribute;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;

import org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations.XmlNamedAttributeNode;
import org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations.XmlNamedObjectGraph;

@XmlNamedObjectGraph(
	    name="contact info",
	    attributeNodes={
	        @XmlNamedAttributeNode("name")
	    })

@XmlRootElement
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Model {

	public Model() {
	}
	
	public Model(int id, String name) {
		this.id = id;
		this.name = name;
	}
	
    @XmlAttribute
    private int id;
 
    @XmlAttribute
    private String name;
 
}


Thats the Application (App.java):
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.JAXBException;
import javax.xml.bind.Marshaller;

import org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.MarshallerProperties;

public class App 
{
    public static void main( String[] args ) throws JAXBException
    {
    	JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(Model.class);
        
    	Model model = new Model(0, "testing");
         
        // Output XML
        Marshaller marshaller = jc.createMarshaller();
        marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
        marshaller.marshal(model, System.out);
         
        // Output XML - Based on Object Graph
        marshaller.setProperty(MarshallerProperties.OBJECT_GRAPH, "contact info");
        marshaller.marshal(model, System.out);
    }
}



As you may see, I get the error message in App.java:
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.bind.PropertyException: name: eclipselink.object-graph value: contact info
	at javax.xml.bind.helpers.AbstractMarshallerImpl.setProperty(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.MarshallerImpl.setProperty(Unknown Source)
	at main.eclipselink_test.App.main(App.java:28)


(Sorry for the masses of code. I don't have the permission to post links.)

Does anybody have some suggestions what went wrong? Thanks!

Hi Paul,

The problem here is that you're not picking up the EclipseLink MOXy JAXB implementation. The class com.sun.xml.internal.bind.v2.runtime.MarshallerImpl if from the JAXB reference implementation included in the JDK.

In order to use the MOXy implementation, you will need to include a jaxb.properties file in the package with your domain classes.

The jaxb.properties file should contain:
javax.xml.bind.context.factory=org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBContextFactory

This should trigger the EclipseLink implementation to be used instead of the RI.

I hope this helps

-Matt

Hi Paul,

Here is a link to a Maven project I have on GitHub that you could use as a model:
- https://github.com/bdoughan/blog20110322

You need to make sure the jaxb.properties file is in the following location:
src/main/resources/main/eclipselink_test/
